Publisher's Summary

What begins as a chance encounter on a Southern California beach in the early 1980s between Jay Roberts, then a young Marine, and a charismatic traveler soon leads to a life-changing afternoon in a mysterious hotel room where a surprise homoerotic proposition makes apparent that things are not all that they seem - a fact then further complicated by Roberts' discovering, multiple decades later, that the man with whom he shared this strange and important afternoon so long ago was none other than one of the most prolific murderers in American history: the "Scorecard Killer," Randy Kraft. Forced to come to grips with his understanding of the past - and its implications for the present - Roberts deftly moves between "then" and "now," ignorance and understanding, in honest, confessional prose that places the reader front and center for a true story that, indeed, is far stranger than fiction. Obsessive in nature and elliptical in structure, Roberts' story ultimately inhabits the liminal space between truth and appearances, love and danger, the hunter and the hunted. One part Hannibal, two parts Catfish, My Evening with the Scorecard Killer is an explosive cocktail of secrecy, seduction, and serial killers that begs the question, "How well can we know anyone - even ourselves - really?"

Author is slightly delusional...

He likes to make this encounter into a love affair with a serial killer when the only thing that kept him from becoming a victim was that he walked away. In an effort to work through the confusing feelings he's had as a result of the encounter, it makes sense that he does this, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.

This is Bad

This is a bad story/account of what happened. It’s riddled with stereotypes and the author sounds like a complete narcissist.

My lord, the homophobia

If you want to know what NOT to say to any LGBTQ person, listen to this.
The scoreboard killer is a really chilling character, but this guy’s thought process is a true horror story.

Waste of time

One paragraph expounded on, repeated, driven into the ground. The obvious point here is to gain personal insight into a single event in his life. Having admittedly gained none whatsoever, I wonder why this was written at all and so will you.

Extremely Repetitive

It seems as if the author feels " dirty " or ashamed although denying this or just cannot come to grips and has to keep saying the same thing .

Narrator drove me to...

This narrator needs to snap out of his leading tone. Everything can not be dramatic. I lasted 10 minutes.

TRASH

Excuse me sir? SIR? Nobody asked you for this. But kudos to you for whatever black magic you worked in order to get this flaming dumpster fire of homophobic delusion published.

What a disappointment



Where do I start. A "hardened 4th year marine sniper" that can be so naive/stupid? Using a narrator that sounds incredibly gay himself...? Bad choice. And how many times can you use the words "gay sex" in 30 minutes? A wonderful, tender afternoon with RANDY KRAFT? I am sorry, this marine is a totally unbelievable and weak character. What questions can he have after 30 years? He fell for Kraft, like many others. And did he actually say "love story", even after knowing how Kraft operated??

Annoying

The story is annoying. At least as far as I listened. It is more about “I felt attracted but I’m not gay. I promise I’m not gay” than anything else. The author goes back and forth and repeats himself incessantly. I couldn’t keep listening after getting about half way, so it might get better in the second half but I doubt it.

He really loves himself

Would have been a decent read if not for the total infatuation he has with his own self. Very strange.
