dark slow-paced

1.25

how did she have such an interesting story handed to her on a silver platter, yet still make it so torturous to read? Her irritating defense of the police and self important tone does not sit right. Also I know this is a book written in the late 70s, but boy does Ann have an affinity for the r word, as well as blatant ableist and sometimes homophobic rhetoric. Very dated, if you're interested in the Ted Bundy case just read a few articles and don't waste your time on this awful 'classic'.
