It took me awhile to finish just because...

Not my fave.. true crime story of the 1996-1998 Poughkeepsie NY prostitute murders.

I think the reason I’m not a fan of this book is there was no real story telling that most true crime stores take some liberties to do. We literally got a couple paragraphs about each murder but that’s it. I left feeling like the police didn’t do anything, the killer was meh, and the outcome was straight forward.....

I listened to this book via Audible and I was done in practically two days. I thought it was a decent read. Easy to follow, and disturbing (as expected). I still cannot fathom how Kendall Francois' family did not know about his crimes, while in the same house. That was the biggest mystery for me. The book didn't cover that very well, I thought they could have gone into more detail. However, I did like how Rosen gave a back story of each victim, my heart sank knowing that these were real women who had to suffer this way. I wouldn't recommend this to just anyone, if like reading about real life serial killers and criminals, so I would recommend it if someone likes this sort of genre.
