About this listen

In the summer of 2003, the Houston suburb of Clear Lake, Texas, was devastated when four young residents were viciously slain. The two female victims, Tiffany Rowell and Rachael Koloroutis, were just 18 years old - popular and beloved. But when a killer came knocking, it turned out to be someone they knew all too well.

Seventeen-year-old Christine Paolilla was an awkward outsider until the girls befriended her. In this gripping true story, M. William Phelps delves into the heart of a baffling mystery to get to the truth of an act so brutal it could not be understood - until now.

Great Writer. Great Narration.

Meticulous recounting of a bizarre incident that occurred in Texas. I couldn't put the book down.

Excellent

Very well researched and narrated. I had heard about this case prior to reading this book. It didn't feel like a repeat of the information that I already knew. There were so many other pertinent details included in the book that shed light on the horror and senselessness of this crime. It definitely kept my interest throughout.

Sad story but I didn't think it was particularly well told. It was fine but not my favorite

He writes as well if not better than Gregg Olsen

What a thoughtfully written book about an absolutely heart breaking crime and all the people affected by it. Beautifully narrated.

Great depiction of brutality

I HATE DRUGS! This is a horrible tragedy told in a heartfelt manner. I really like this author and the narrator was perfect. I could actually feel the pain of the family.

Excellent!

An excellent TRUE CRIME book, in every way--well researched, well-written, and with so much heart and understanding--a good balance of dialog and the author's words--plus excellent narration!

Sad sad girl

As usual M. William Phelps’ account of the people he writes about is fair, honest and detailed reporting. He digs into their lives and gives us insight into their upbringing and the situations that placed them in the middle of a crime. He delves into the victims’ lives and the impact of the crime on their loved ones. He never disappoints.

Never see them again.

What did you love best about Never See Them Again?

Gripping. I live in Houston and vaguely remember this murder.

What did you like best about this story?

The betrayal of these girls by their so called friend. Was interesting at the beginning how the girls are portrayed as all American, church going young ladies, wholesome etc. But later we see they work in seedy strip clubs in Houston and are part of the drug scene.

If you could give Never See Them Again a new subtitle, what would it be?

Evil in suburbia.

Good Story, With Good Flow

Any additional comments?

This book provides a very engaging story. I would have liked a little more cultural/historical context to the book. However, it is a fairly recent case so that would probably be difficult to do. The details and facts were not over dramatized. I really liked the narrator.
