Publisher's Summary:

Michael Ross was a serial killer who raped and murdered eight young women between 1981 and 1984, and several years ago the state of Connecticut put him to death. His crimes were horrific, and he paid the ultimate price for them. When journalist Martha Elliott first heard of Ross, she learned what the world knew of him - that he had been a master at hiding in plain sight.

Elliott, a staunch critic of the death penalty, was drawn to the case when the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned Ross' six death sentences. Rather than fight for his life, Ross requested that he be executed because he didn't want the families of his victims to suffer through a new trial. Elliott was intrigued and sought an interview.

The two began a weekly conversation - that developed into an odd form of friendship - that lasted over a decade, until Ross' last moments on Earth. Over the course of his 20 years in prison, Ross had come to embrace faith for the first time in his life. He had also undergone extensive medical treatment. The Michael Ross whom Elliott knew seemed to be a different man from the monster who was capable of such heinous crimes. This Michael Ross made it his mission to share his story with Elliott in the hopes that it would save lives.

In The Man in the Monster, Martha Elliott gives us a groundbreaking look into the life and motivation of a serial killer. Drawing on a decade of conversations and letters between Ross and the author, listeners are given an in-depth view of a killer's innermost thoughts and secrets, revealing the human face of a monster - without ignoring the horrors of his crimes. Elliott takes us deep into a world of court hearings, tomblike prisons, lawyers hell-bent to kill or to save, and families ravaged by love and hate. This is the personal story of a journalist who came to know herself in ways she could never have imagined when she opened the notebook for that first interview.

Perfectly told...

I personally was able to overlook my feelings at many points in the book where I couldn't help but sarcastically say to myself, out loud at times, "oh you poor baby!" I had to keep an open mind and remind myself that she had come to befriend this man. I also wrestled with believing him in his "quest" for understanding, forgiveness, and peace for everyone involved. I go back and forth with it all. That aside, this story was perfectly told. The author did a great job in laying out the timeline of events. This story took up a big chunk of her life. The narration was perfect as well. It was a page-turner. I blew thru this one in a day and a 1/2. Very interesting and I can't think think if any point in the book where my mind wandered, or I subconsciously stopped paying attention which always leads to me thinking about my next purchase! Nope, this was a really good listen. Great job to Martha and Kyra. Thanks.

Thought provoking story of good and evil

Regardless of one's feelings about 'The Death Penalty' debate Martha Elliot's ten year Odyssey will, without a doubt, give the reader food for thought.

Martha's original mission is a fact finding mission consisting of research including a few conversations with serial killer Michael Ross. Little does she know where it will take her and us as we walk with her vicariously on this agonizing journey.

This book is descriptive.

Title: The Beach Cabin

Author: James Nugent

Narrator: Alex More

Format: Unabridged

Length: 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-02-15

Publisher: Eld Inlet Services

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Sometimes a house is a house. Sometimes a house is a home. And sometimes a home is a spiritual base from which a person can have a lifetime of adventure and love. I do not recommend that anyone do the things my wife and I have done. I do suggest you use this short story as food for thought. Even one new idea can make all the difference. Most of the unique things about our home come as adaptations from Roman Catholic culture. Some are uniquely my own. I invite you to my home through this book. Our home is a reflection of our values and temperaments.

Official Review by TheMusicalMuse

If you're searching for an intriguing storyline, don't look here. If you want a read that's fast-paced and action-packed, you're in the wrong place.

This book isn't fast or progressive or mainstream. It's a soothing narrative in which the author invites you to peek through a tiny window into his idyllic corner of peace.

Reading "The Beach Cabin" was like sitting down with my grandpa and letting him talk. Sometimes, he rambles a little bit. Sometimes, his grammar isn't perfect. But there's nothing like listening to that kind of narrator: he draws you into the most ordinary of stories.

Mr. Nugent's beach house is extraordinary in the numerous, minute ways it deviates from the norm. He speaks of living simply and inexpensively, of spending time in pure nature, and of communing with God...all counterculture topics, but none of them hot button issues. Yet, this is the life he has chosen, and the peace he finds there shines through his writing. It could make even the most driven reader long for the slower pace of life on the beach.

I especially appreciated the section concerning an abuse free zone. By refusing to let harmful, hurtful people into his beach house, Mr. Nugent has ensured that it will remain a healthy, happy place for him and his family. I think he hits on an important theme here: regardless of where we live, we can make our homes more wholesome and comfortable by refusing to admit into them those people who only have negativity to offer.

"The Beach Cabin" isn't the perfect book. It's not particularly well-written, and it's never going to win any awards. However, what it has to offer is far more impressive--a glimpse of life lived in harmony and satisfaction. Perhaps, if you take a peek, you will be inspired to create your own "beach house", regardless of where you actually dwell.
