About this listen

Peter Manuel killed repeatedly, both random and targeted victims, including men, women, and children, because he enjoyed the rush. As a lifelong criminal, Manuel mainly committed property crime. That all changed when his heart was broken. The woman he'd been engaged to called off the wedding and left him, causing Peter to snap. His violence escalated then, and Peter terrorized various communities for almost two years. His cockiness had no end, and he went as far as giving a police inspector a ride while the inspector was searching for one of the teenage girls Peter had murdered. Peter toyed with the detective and advised him he thought the police were looking in the wrong spot for the girl. Ultimately, Peter's arrogance and insatiable need for attention led to his demise; one that made him meet his own executioner as he hung from a noose on prison gallows.

This is an interesting case and it should have been fairly easy to write the facts in an entertaining manner. Unfortunately, the author and narrator are American and seem to know very little about Scotland where the case occurred. The author also regularly refers to himself and his background in the police which is distracting and irritating.
