mesy_mark's review against another edition
I listened to this book through the audiobook. To start off with that, one be wary of walking around a children's park and the narrator saying oral sex, and two the voice was robotic in nature. It reminds me of another book I listened to. But just because the voice could have been used a jump start to the land of the living, I liked the content of the book.
Randy was a sick woman desperate, woman hating man. He hated woman and what they symbolized almost as much as he wished to marry one and control that woman. He began his attacks, the more violent ones that involved sexual assault and death began after his prison sentence for robbery. And they just skyrocketed from there.
The one thing about the book that I could do without is the constant repeat that Rany was a good upstanding man. Clearly, he just had the impression not the actual lofe of that image or else he wouldn't be behind bars now. So I got it the first three times that he was a good guy. The billion times after that was overkill.

Y’all know I love a good Ann Rule true crime book. I’m pretty sure this is the fourth one I have read, and it struck me this time how much like a novel the dialogue is written. It really brings me into the world on the story, as opposed to having some sort of interrogation transcript like some crime books do. I also thought this had a nice balance of “real time” investigation and background on the killer.
