This book has been in my library for more than 3 months. I'm done at Chapter 8. This book is well researched but I found none of the characters are interesting.
This was a grueling read, it’s very long with such small print, I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into. That being said, as someone who knew nothing about the crimes Bundy committed, this was a great source of information with turns at every chapter. The follow ups were worth reading and the reflection from Ann made it feel like she had grown and learned a lot in the next years, which made her all the more a credible author.
Given the cultural impact of the crimes, I’m glad I read this rather than watching a documentary, but now I’m not sure if I want to continue down the rabbit hole of this history or never hear that bastard’s name ever again.

Good. Lengthy but you cannot beat the fact that the author was a close friend of Bundy - insight that just isn't possible by any other author.
Great book, but it starting getting graphic with the deaths and it was a bit too much for me.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Physical abuse, Violence, Stalking
I listened to the audiobook for this and unfortunately did not enjoy Rule’s narration. I think I would have liked the content more of not for that.

Incredible!
Although I have read much about Ted Bundy over the years, I had not (for some reason) read Ann Rule's account of knowing him. I was aware of the murders described in this book but was shocked at how well she knew him. That firsthand perspective made this book one that I could not put down.

I think Ann Rule’s perspective of the Ted Bundy murders would have been better as a personal essay. I was expecting her story to speak more to their friendship, but it was more of a retelling of larger story. It didn’t really offer a deeper or different insight like I was hoping for.
