caidyn's review against another edition
dark
informative
fast-paced
4.0
Typically, I find Ann Rule good but wordy. She takes books that could have been hundreds of pages shorter and stretches them out. But this was the opposite. It was pretty short and I never felt too bogged down. Of course, there were tons of triggers -- which should be expected given the topic -- but the hits kept coming. I can't believe I had never heard of this serial killer because his crimes are terrifying. Rule did a great job of telling his crimes, as well as giving a resolution to what happened and showed the detective work involved in finding him. An enjoyable true crime novel and it makes me want to pick up her book on Diane Downs.
