Dead by Sunset by Ann Rule
5.0
So I started this book quite awhile ago as a part of my two-books-a-weed goal and it's probably taken me about three weeks to read just this one. Not because it's so insanely long or boring, but because it's so intense that you have to put it down to breath. It's not the kind of intensity where you're waiting to find out who-done-it. You know. It's intense because you're watching him get away with murder, literally; and more. The fact that it's a true story makes it even more difficult.
Brad is a true sociopath and more. How he gets away with it seems incomprehensible, especially if you don't understand the situation. I'm lucky enough (or unlucky) to understand, and a more-minimal,-but-same-in the-big-picture basis, and the book is haunting. If he had gotten away with it in the end, this probably would have been one of the worst books, emotionally, that I've ever read. Because he didn't, it's by far one of the very, very best.
