I don’t really know what to say. The author did an extraordinary thing - got a serial killer to confess to 90+ murder after only originally having been convicted of three. Definitely makes me wonder the effectiveness of our law enforcement agencies. The amount of detail she has to research and notate, the ethical decisions she had to apply throughout the investigation, and the retold narratives she constructed to give voices to the dead - pretty darned remarkable. But it’s hard for me to say that I’m grateful to have read this book. I learned a lot, but do I really need to know this much about a serial killer? Hopefully not!
