Now available: The audio version of "The Crack City Strangler"

Maybe you're a reader who would rather be a listener. Maybe you like to have a true-crime podcast on while you're working, or while you're doing a jigsaw puzzle on a Saturday afternoon like me. Whatever the case, you've got a new option -- the audio version of "The Crack City Strangler" book on the Benjamin ("Tony") Atkins case has now released. It's narrated by the same talented voice artist who did the first book in the Murders in the Motor City series, Lee Ann Howlett. 

I'm very excited to see this new option available, being a listener of true-crime podcasts and the like myself. The audio is nearly 11 hours long, like 11 episodes of a podcast, and is only 99 cents with an Audible membership. The cover is the same image you see on the paperback, hardback and e-book versions -- and yes, that is indeed a photo of Atkins taken by Detroit police when they detained him in January 1992, just months before he was arrested for the murders of 11 women along Detroit's historic Woodward Avenue (there's been some confusion about the photos of Atkins circulating online -- see my blog post next week about that).

Happy listening! And as always, you're welcome to drop me a line to let me know what you think.

(And yes, that photo on the book's cover is actually a photo of Atkins; see this blog post on the confusion over his photos.)
