The book was easy to follow(I listened to it via audiobook), and the writing was fun. Yes I said fun. It wasn't just dry facts, it had personality to it. And it managed to have that personality without being disrespectful to the victims or the seriousness of the crimes. And honestly, considering how so many true crime podcasters and commenters fall short on this, it's admirable that the author was able to pull this off.
I like to think of myself as a true crime buff, specifically forensic psychology(which is what I went to college for), and this is a case I had never heard of. Most of us heard of the Axe Man of New Orleans, but not many of us know just how many axe murderers there were all over the US. And this was one that was brand new to me.
For that, I really appreciated how the author explained the crimes, explained the police procedures(and very specifically calls out how dumb they were, because they absolutely were), and discussed who he thinks committed the crime and why.
Overall, it was a great audiobook.
