Book Review: The Man Who Cooked Children by Ryan Green

Blurb

He didn’t hide in the shadows.

He smiled. He grilled. He served his neighbours meat they never questioned.

To the people of Great Falls, Nathaniel Bar-Jonah was just another friendly face. He attended church, hosted barbecues, and was a neighbour you could trust. But inside his freezer were secrets far darker than anyone imagined.

Children disappeared. Rumours spread. And when the truth began to thaw, investigators uncovered something unspeakable – recipes that didn’t name the meat, bones buried in the yard, and stories of a man consumed with control who indulged every urge.

He didn’t just live among them. He fed them the unthinkable.

The Man Who Cooked Children is a chilling descent into the mind of a suspected cannibal, child killer, and master manipulator. A tale of horror disguised as hospitality, and a community that didn’t see the danger until it was too late.

WARNING: Contains disturbing content, graphic violence, and accounts of child abuse.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was an interesting case. The author dove into the life of Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, trying to find the why as well as how he managed to get away with things. Well-detailed as to the crimes and his home life. It was a quick read and informative.

This is my unsolicited review.
