"American Predator" tells the story of one of the scariest serial killers. The book focuses on the arrest, investigation and its many problems, and Keyes's suicide. I left this book feeling fear, anger, and confusion. How many investigations go wrong because of egos? Too many. This book is hard to put down. The content is, of course, difficult, but Callahan writes well and clinically, making it easy to read. I also had to know what happened and what they learned. Sadly, the answer is not enough.

This was a Book Club read, because we wanted something that was non-fiction but that was easy to read and not full of jargon 🥲

A dark and thrilling tale, this book needs many content warnings. We see so many serial killer profiles these days and this is one that needs to be looked into (although hopefully not glamourised) 😫

The ending frustrated me to no end though!

I cannot believe Israel committed suicide 😫 I was so frustrated that he got to get away with all of these crimes. At the end, when it asks if racial profiling allowed him to get away with so much, I nodded vigorously.
