The Butcher of Paris by Stephanie Phillips
4.0
The Butcher of Paris is a graphic novel written by Stephanie Phillips and art Dean Kotz. It is a historical, true crime thriller about a killer wanted by both the Nazis and allied forces for the death of nearly two-hundred victims.
In 1944, as Swastikas flew over Paris, one of the most notorious and prolific serial killers in history turned the occupied city into his personal hunting ground. Under the guise of opportunity and freedom, a killer preys on those desperate to flee until a gruesome discovery alerts the police. In a city on the brink of war, the hunt for a serial killer begins as a French detective races to catch the villain before the Nazis beat him to it.
For fans of true crime and serial killer stories, this ones for you. But be warned, it’s obviously graphic. I really appreciate the research that Phillips put in to tell this story. This was a serial killer I had no previous knowledge of, so this graphic novel was very educational. However, I would’ve liked more details, as the ending came too quickly!!
There are so many told, and untold, stories that occurred during WWII that continually blow my mind. The horrors. The tragedies. How so many people covered up and stood by and watched these things happen.
