This was a fascinating look into the crimes of Dennis Rader. This serial killer almost got away with murder. He would have, if he had just stayed quiet. Instead, he wanted the world to know his story - from him.
Walk through the case from the beginning, get some background on the victims, and the detectives who were working the case.

I seriously could not put this book down. I read it in two days and picked it up whenever I could. This book is written very honestly and is the best comprehensive account of BTK I have read thus far. The reader is able to gather so much behind the scenes information about police work as well as how Rader executed his crimes and was able to remain in hiding for so long. The writing style is much like journalism but also conveys their feelings and thoughts.

Another arbitrary title
Interesting book. Not sure how I feel about the situation but it was a page turner. Wouldn't recommend for anyone who gets easily frightened.

I remember when the BTK killer was caught in 2005. I was so happy to hear that the families could get more answers about the losses they had and hopefully justice (life in prison).
This book is brutal in the descriptions of what BTK did to people, all while having a family, working his job, and being a leader in his church. It is horrific and not easy to read some of the details. The killer kept full documentation of his own murders on top of it.
There were a few repetitive things in this book, but not too terribly done. I am glad this man admitted his own faults instead of trying to keep information hidden.
