About this audiobook
Former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro—the “true hero” (New York Post) of the hit HBO documentary series The Jinx—offers the transfixing true story of her tireless fifteen-year investigation into accused murderer Robert Durst for the disappearance of his wife Kathleen Durst.
Former district attorney Jeanine Pirro was cast as the bad guy fifteen years ago when she reopened the cold case of Kathleen Durst, a young and beautiful fourth-year medical student who disappeared without a trace in 1982, never to be seen again. Kathie Durst’s husband was millionaire real estate heir Robert Durst, son of one of the wealthiest families in New York City—but though her friends and family suspected him of the worst, he escaped police investigation.
Pirro, now the host of Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News, always believed in Durst’s guilt, and in this shocking book, she makes her case beyond a shadow of a doubt, revealing stunning, previously unknown secrets about the crimes he is accused of committing. For years, Pirro has crusaded for justice for the victims, and her impassioned perspective in the captivating HBO documentary series The Jinx made her one of its breakout stars. Featuring Pirro’s unique insider’s perspective on the crimes, as well as her exclusive interviews with many of the major players featured in the The Jinx, this comprehensive book is the definitive story of Robert Durst and his gruesome crimes—the one you didn’t see on television.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Book was good but the narrator was almost screaming at times and came off very condescending
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Narration is unbelievably obnoxious. I would rather stick chopsticks in my ears then listen to all 18 chapters. Ugh. What were they thinking?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Man, I don't think I like Jeanine Pirro, but I do have to respect her. She is tough as nails and stubborn as fuck, and while I think calling her the "true hero" of the Robert Durst saga is pushing it a little too far, she's definitely shown a lot more tenacity and loyalty to the truth than a lot of the people who've been in the news about it. If you've seen The Jinx, there isn't a whole lot of new information here; the appeal is mostly in getting it all from her perspective, which is...frank, to say the least.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have been fascinated by the Robert Durst case ever since I first saw the movie All Good Things, and learned it was based off a true story.Then came The Jinx, which is what seems to have brought about this book.Pirro is both the problem and the solution when it comes to He Killed Them All. She has inside information and anecdotes no one else would be able to share. But she also centers a lot of the book on herself, what she has gone through, with a lot of all caps and exclamation points used.To be fair, she does lay it out in the title-it's about her quest for justice. And she did have to go through quite a lot as a woman in a position of power. I just wish someone had done just a bit more editing before this book went to print.But regardless, it is a fascinating read. Pirro takes readers through the case from beginning to present day, dissecting what has happened and what she believes to have happened. I found especially interesting the sections where she dissected each episode of The Jinx.I would definitely recommend this book for readers of true crime, as well as anyone who watched The Jinx.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is by former DA Jeanine Pirro who for more than a decade tried to nail Robert Durst for the murder of his wife Kathie. Both Jeanine and Robert appear in the HBO documentary the Jinx. If you haven't seen it, it's absolutely riveting. The disappearance/ probable murder of Kathie is just the tip of the crazy iceberg that is Robert Durst. I was hesitant to pick up this book because I thought the documentary pretty much covered everything but I did actually learn a few new things from the book. While I was reading the book I went back and watched the Jinx again with my husband and definitely picked up on things I hadn't before. I know some readers are turned off by Jeanine Pirro's writing "voice". There is a lot of name calling, cursing, and rundown on her designer wardrobe. I actually liked her authenticity. It made her seem like someone you would want on your side if a crime had been committed against your loved one. She has no problem calling people out on their B.S. and giving her unvarnished opinion. In the end, this is her perspective on the case and if you spoke to someone else they would have their side. What can't be denied however is that Robert Durst left a lot of dead people in his wake. If you are a fan of the Jinx than you will want to read Jeanine Pirro's take on her personal involvement in the strange case of Robert Durst.
