It's just really, really not a good story, a good listen or in anyway redeeming. Whoever this Mel Foster is, he should not be narrating. A male narrator who's portrayal of women should be illegal. Perfectly normal to scream at them that you want answers. Also, apparently it's plausible in the author's mind to even imagine that the FBI allows agents that yell and threaten VICTIMS of heinous and unimaginable crimes. the 'twist' that the roommate was once a butterfly and escaped pregnant, but then didn't tell anyone for years and year because she didn't want to lose her baby to A SERIAL KILLER? Seriously? I don't know whether to puke or laugh. Honestly, this is the kind of drivel that gives misogynists the ammunition to spew fowl opinions on women wanting to be raped and controlled deep down. they're painted as intelligent, but somehow this gentle and loving serial killer just inspires in them only the desire to be subservient. They're allowed to be brutally honest with him. A gentle and loving serial killer abducts countless women over the course of 30 years and because he isn't rough when he rapes them and gives them gifts like running water, not once in 30 years do they ever band together to kill the mo' fo'. The most disgusting, disturbing and silly plot line imaginable. The rest of the important characters are equally as ridiculous.

An 18 yo woman with a childhood that would realistically cause her to become a sociopath in her own right, somehow is confident, wise and compassionate. Otherwise, here is what you will be subjected to if you choose to listen: -Poor and unrealistic character development. Like I can't keep from looking at horrific accidents on the freeway I pass. The one positive thing I will say about the story is that I had to finish it. I haven't ever read/listened to a book I was so eager to review, and I sincerely hope that the author reads these comments. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Also, he sounds like a car commercial announcer so when he narrated any part it came across as cheesy and overdramatic. It was whiny and condescending and like nails on a chalkboard. Every time he tried to impersonate a women I cringed. Lauren Ezzo I thought was wonderful, but I will never listen to any book narrated by Mel Foster again. Mel Foster is absolutely ghastly at trying to do female voices. What aspect of Lauren Ezzo and Mel Foster ’s performance would you have changed? Has The Butterfly Garden turned you off from other books in this genre? Would you try another book from Dot Hutchison and/or Lauren Ezzo and Mel Foster ?
