Written in a flowing narrative style, Kitty Genovese: A True Account of a Public Murder and its Private Consequences presents the story of the horrific and infamous murder of Kitty Genovese, a young woman stalked and stabbed on the street where she lived in Queens, New York in 1964. The case sparked national outrage when the New York Times revealed that dozens of witnesses had seen or heard the attacks on Kitty Genovese and her struggle to reach safety but had failed to come to her aid or even call police until after the killer had fled.
This audiobook cuts through misinformation and conjecture to present a definitive portrait of the crime, the aftermath, and the people. Based on six years of research, Catherine Pelonero's audiobook presents the facts from the police reports, archival material, court documents, and first-hand interviews. Pelonero offers a personal look at Kitty Genovese, an ambitious young woman viciously struck down in the prime of her life; Winston Moseley, the killer who led a double life as a responsible family man by day and a deadly predator by night; the consequences for a community condemned; and others touched by the tragedy.
Beyond just a true crime story, the audiobook embodies much larger themes: the phenomenon of bystander inaction, the evolution of a serial killer, and the fears and injustices spawned by the stark prejudices of an era, many of which linger to this day.

I just finished Catherine Pelonero’s riveting and meticulously researched book
Her sound and reasoned exploration of this case provides fresh understanding of this event and its
moment in time. Her insightful portraits of the serial killer himself as well as particular individuals, writers
and police investigators are illuminating and unexpected. Her step by step recounting of the crime itself is
chilling, without being sensational. This is also true of her portrayal of the killer, particularly when he,
unbelievably, was able to escape and to commit yet more horror. Her book is important at this moment
in order to refute the Genovese revisionists who seem bent on imposing their personal opinions on the
reading public rather than documentation and research in order to bring attention to themselves rather
than providing deeper understanding of the significance of this event for today.

I thought I knew the relevant facts of this case but realize after reading this book I knew little of the true story. Beautifully written and researched extensively, I don't think you could find a more definitive treatment of this compelling case.
