challenging dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

3.75

This book is very dense and the organization makes the information and names harder to follow across chapters and years. Still, it's interesting to get a glimpse into the author's research processes and they make a good case for the man they believe to be the killer and what they beli ve to be his fate.

challenging dark informative mysterious tense slow-paced

5.0

Woah so fascinating and they figured it out too. Now we just need a German speaker to sift through old newspaper records to figure out if he committed any more in Germany or Austria.
