Killing Season: The Unsolved Case of New England's Deadliest Serial Killer by Carlton Smith
informative
medium-paced
2.0
This book discusses the case of the New Bedford Highway Killer. The person believed to be responsible for the disappearances of two women and the murder of nine women whose bodies were found. The deaths/disappearances occurred between March 1988 and April 1989. All of these women were known to be sex workers, drug users, or both. It is likely that is how their murderer came into contact with them initially. There were several suspects in these murders, though police and their investigations were unable to nail someone down definitively.
This interested me for a lot of reasons, least of which was the fact that this was ongoing while I was born. I was born in July 1988, and it is just weird to me to think about events like this going on while I was just screaming in my mother's face oblivious to everything. I am a double history major, as well as a true crime partaker, and I read and watch a lot of stuff about a lot of things over a lot of years. I am not really sure why this particular set of events took me aback but it did. Anyway, this is not one of my favorite true crime authors, however I thought the book was decent and I got quite a bit of information from it. If you are interested in this case, this may be worth a read.
