The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule

5.0

Amazing read. This gave me so much more information regarding the horror of Ted Bundy, his life, his personalities, and a sense of great sadness looking at the sheer amount of women he murdered. He became such an important study source for researchers and investigators and honestly got what he wanted- notoriety. Even now we still all know who he is and continually learn about him I’m different ways. He created a generation of cult like fans and possible new serial killers. His victims, some never identified, sadly didn’t stand a chance. It’s chilling to see how normal and educated he appears, how friendly and charismatic. I recommend reading this and watching his court case as you get to that part because it really solidified to me how jarring it was to people that he was a killer. This is better than any Netflix documentary and provides well rounded information that make it all make some sort of sense. Highly recommend to read.
