The Night Stalker: The Disturbing Life and Chilling Crimes of Richard Ramirez by Philip Carlo

3.0

3 stars. the first half of this book was great - it’s obvious that a lot of research was put into it, but there is never a dull moment. carlo takes readers inside of ramirez’s head and helps explain the motives that led to him committing these gruesome crimes. however, the second half was extremely boring. i found myself skipping major portions of the trial because it was sooo long. overall though, it’s an interesting book and a good portrait of richard ramirez. i recommend it to true crime fans, mainly due to the first half.
