Publisher Description
""Blum capably maintains the suspense and thoughtfully probes into the motives of key players in this intriguing yet profoundly unsettling story. A compelling true-crime book."" — Kirkus Reviews
The definitive, inside story of the Idaho murders from acclaimed bestselling author Howard Blum, whose groundbreaking coverage of the story was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
Timed for a trial that will capture national attention, When the Night Comes Falling examines the mysterious murders of the four University of Idaho students. Having covered this case from its start, Edgar award winning investigative reporter Howard Blum takes readers behind the scenes of the police manhunt that eventually led to suspected killer, Bryan Christopher Kohberger, and uncovered larger, lurid questions within this unthinkable tragedy.
Reminiscent of the panoramic portraiture of In Cold Blood and The Executioner’s Song, When the Night Comes Falling offers a suspenseful, richly detailed narrative that will have readers transfixed.

Very informative & an easy read/listen
Glad I bought this
Chilling account
The author spent tremendous effort and time interviewing some who are close to the victims as well as some close to the investigation. The result is detail beyond what has otherwise been disclosed through public media.
"Thought-Provoking Read: Uncertainties on Accuracy"
In his narrative, the author adeptly guides listeners through the intricacies of his tale, yet a glaring inconsistency arises during his account of Xana’s fast food order. Specifically, he states she ordered Burger King, whereas photographic evidence clearly shows a Jack in the Box bag. This factual oversight undermines the credibility of his reporting, particularly since this detail is widely recognized and easily verifiable. This discrepancy left me considerably disheartened, casting doubt on the reliability of the author's overall storytelling. It remains uncertain whether I will continue with the book, given this troubling inaccuracy.
