Lead is a vampire; invite it in and it will drink your blood and live forever. 

Great writing. Fascinating examination of corporate greed, zealous capitalism, and unmitigated environmental pollution and how these can spur bloodlust and tragedy.

The author clearly well researched the content but it was confusing to follow all the storylines at times. The competing memoir, true crime, and industry stories and how they tie together could have been more clear, especially on audio.

This author writes about serial killers (mostly during the 70s) and her theory on what is making them kill people. She focuses mostly on Ted Bundy and killers in the PNW.  

I listened to this audiobook and I thought it was a good listen.  I'm actually partially listening to it again because I'm on a long roadtrip with my husband and he has it on in the car.  I find any stories about serial killers fascinating, so I knew that I would most likely enjoy this book.  After I finished it, I had watched a Ted Bundy documentary to get more information.  Her theory is interesting and makes some sense, but if it was the only cause then there would've been a lot more killers.  I had heard that this book was supposed to mostly be about the PNW, but she also throws in other serial killers.  She also mainly focuses on just Ted Bundy (this really felt like it should've been a book about him).  She meanders a bit, especially when she is talking about her dad and her family.  I could've done without those parts.  The story was captivating and her theory seems like it might be plausible and part of the cause, but not as great as she makes it out to be.
