About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When Delia Balmer entered into a relationship with the attentive John Sweeney, she had no idea he was a serial killer.

At first he was caring but over the course of their relationship he became violent and controlling. On more than one occasion he held Delia hostage and tortured her. Chillingly, he also confessed to the murder of his previous girlfriend. After one serious assault, Sweeney was released on bail, and left her in the utmost fear knowing that he would return to finish her off. After a final frenzied attack leaving Delia on the brink of death, Sweeney went on the run. Astonishingly, it would take the police six years to capture and convict Sweeney of multiple murders.

This is her compelling memoir.

Delia, what an inspiration you are! I am so sorry you went though (and are still going through) what you did. A fantastically writing memoir.

wow

it is easy to hear why some reviewers feel like she blames others too much. A confident narrator gives off an impression that Delia is a strong woman who takes no prisoners. From the way she holds herself to her vocabulary and intelligence, she appears less then a victim but more of someone who thinks the world owes her. However how does anyone, who hasn't walked in her shoes truly know what she went through?
I've worked in the criminal justice system and also beem a victim many times over. I see you Delia, i hear you and although I haven't walked in your particular shoes I undertstand your anger and disappointment. I truly hope in time life deals you with some better cards and allows you to make sense of what happened and heal.

it was horrific what she went through and was so let down by the justice system. I hope she finds some sort of peace.

All I kept thinking was poor Delia! You could absolutely feel how this psychopath destroyed her whole sense of herself. What a brave lady, so unbelievable the police’s early response to her cries for help, this made me so angry! I only hope things are different now.

Riveting!

Oh wow, so many failings by the police, nothing has changed with them.
I was shouting at loud most parts of this story, having been through domestic violence and been left with a host of mental health issues it’s heart wrenching listening to others, back in the 90’s unless you were half alive the police did not want to know, I applaud this lady, her bravery should spurn women on.
Ladies 1 red flag is your indicator to run and not turn back, you are so much better than being someone’s punchbag, run and do it for you xx

Great, but extremely sad and compelling story of an exceptionally brave lady. Incredible survival techniques let down by the law. Great read.

Narrated beautifully
