Purchase options and add-ons

Living out of a specially rigged minivan (a mobile torture chamber that included ropes, hooks, curling irons, duct tape, etc), this cold-blooded murdering duo kidnapped, tortured, raped and killed young girls from Reno, Nevada, to Sacramento, California. Fuelled by methamphetamines and deviant motives, nothing was off limits for James Daveggio and Michelle Michaud. Not even their own children. While the local and state police departments, and even the FBI, vigorously searched for the couple, they freely hunted for prey and carried out their months-long spree of abduction and murder. Warning: This true account is at times quite graphic which some may find disturbing.

5.0 out of 5 stars really a 1 star rating
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018

I really give this a 1 star rating because it is very badly written! I put it in the 5 star category ratings because I want people to read it. Dont waste your money. The author does not know how to tell a story. He was all over the place and repeated the same things over and over again. e.g. He put the trail informtion at the beginning and again in the middle and again in the end. He wrote the same words describing something in one chapter and then again almost word for word in the next chapter. At first I thought i had accidently gone back to the previous chapter! IT was very disorganized. I finally gave up and didnt even finish it. I wont be reading anymore of his books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting subject, not well executed

Abduction: The Minivan Murders by R.J. Parker is the true story of James Daveggio and Michelle Michaud, a couple of meth-heads who kidnapped and sexually assaulted a number of young women from Sacramento, California to Reno, Nevada, even killing one and dumping her body.

A chilling story of serial rapists and murderers, the book fails, however, to live up to the hype or the cover. There is too much repetition, going over points repeatedly that could well be addressed once and done—and a lot of it is devoted to the killing spree of two other serial rapist-killers, who apparently were the motivation for Daveggio and Michaud.

An interesting book, that with less repetition, and without the hype—for example, the two were only convicted of one murder, and while they might, if not caught, have killed others, there is no evidence that they killed more than the one for whose death they were convicted.

I give this one three stars. Interesting subject, just not as well executed as I would expect from this author.

1.0 out of 5 stars TOO repetitive!
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2017

I try to always finish each book I purchase, but in this case, I am sorry to say that it was so repetitive that it seemed as though I was reading the same facts over and over. I can't say I wouldn't try another one of the author's other works, but it was almost as if they were trying to make the book longer by repeating the same facts over and over again every few pages. Just too much of the same information about their backgrounds, dates, victims, and well, just going back and repeatedly stating the same stuff! Does anyone else feel like this, or am I crazy? Sorry about this, but I am glad I paid very little for this work, and almost wish I could get a credit, or refund. My bad for not reading a sample first. Never done that before, but will in the future.... Would not recommend this read for those who love true crime, and love a story that makes you feel like you can't wait to get to the next page, and don't want the book to end.

A lot of repetition of the same material in this book. Makes it feel I'm reading the same book over and over.
Also, not very well organized. You read the outcome in the beginning, all of the murders aren't in order. Details of the murders are not included. Although they are awful, he could have included them as we are not young readers and generally an adult audience.

It seems it wasn't even proof read before it was published .

Very well written. I have read other books about the horrible crimes these two individuals did to several young ladies and each book let the reader into more of the background etc. highly recommend this book for the true crime readers.

I was hoping for a detailed account of the subjects lives, where they grew up, where they lived during the different events/crimes. I was hoping for a good timeline of their activities, but this book was just ALL over the place. It jumped back and forth on timelines in a very confusing way. It essentially read as if the author read every news article about the couple, and then wrote a book report. Very disappointing.
