This book was awesome. Extremely comprehensive while also being well written, which kept me engaged the whole time. The perspective the author provides of knowing Ted before and during his murder spree/subsequent incarceration adds such a unique dimension. I appreciated her ability to balance this with the facts, so it didn’t seem like it was all about her or that she was too self-serving. It’s just wild to me how she was contracted to write about these murders before knowing Ted was even a suspect.

If you love true crime, this is a great choice.
