This book was excellent. The writing was top notch. I'm so glad someone decided to dragggggg all of the media obsessions with ted bundy and the other "hot" serial killers by creating art house shows and movies. I loved that this focused on the victims, never used the killer's name, and reminded us that the media sells us outlandish nonsense about these ordinary dudes who are killing women. An incredible audiobook focused on imperfect women who deserved MORE.
