About this listen

In 1991, flight attendant Nancy Ludwig checked in to an airport hotel near Detroit. The next morning she was found gagged, raped, and tortured - her throat slit with such rage that she was nearly decapitated. Her husband Arthur never gave up hope that the future would bring enough evidence to close the case. But it was the past that held the clue.

In 1985, 55-year-old Margarette Eby, a music professor, met the same grisly death at her cottage in Flint, Michigan. The case went cold - until six years later when the victim's son Mark came upon the story of Nancy Ludwig's slaying. With nothing to go on but intuition, he called authorities, certain that the same fiend committed both crimes.

A cunning sting operation yielded irrefutable DNA evidence, and authorities were led to the home of respected navy veteran Jeffrey Gorton living quietly with his wife and two children. But his cold-blooded secrets were only beginning to come to light, leaving fears that there were more victims yet to be found in a killing spree that had finally come to an end. Blood Justice shows veteran reporter and author Tom Henderson at the top of his game.

I’ve listened to thousands of murder books and podcasts but this was the first one I had to turn off while eating, far too unnecessarily detailed descriptions of a certain gross thing (anyone who’s listened will know exactly what I’m talking about lol) - not once but twice in 10 mins. Not needed.

Too graphic

I enjoyed this. The author goes to great lengths to portray the murdered ladies as living breathing people, not just murder victims. I found this to be touching and poignant.
A very detailed book, the author isn't afraid to call out lax practices and procedures in crime.

Such detail , great reserach

I really 'enjoyed' the bo9k if that's OK to say. I like that it's not rushed, everyone is introduced and we really get the sense of the depravity of this 'man' (used very loosely). its a shame your protagonist cop let you down but it doesn't reflect on the calibre of your book. (narrator awesome too)

I'm sorry your cop let you down

So well researched and read a must for fans of true crime. A truly disturbing happening to 2 so innocent women

Brilliant

I found the descriptions of the violence inflicted on these poor women and the details explaining the state their bodies were left in to be far too graphic, it felt very salacious and disrespectful to them and their families...I stopped listening and returned the audiobook.

I've enjoyed other Tom Henderson true crime books, and the narrator Paul Michael Garcia was good as usual... I just found the descriptions unnecessarily graphic and very distasteful.

I didn't finish it
