good book,

I love true crime books and when I seen one of the names of his victims share my name of Kristine Ruth I had to read it

FAST moving story

Narrator was o.k. just simple words mispronounced were distracting at times. Othwersise. a well written and well organized story of a truly viscious animal and the young women he tortured and killed. Author did not bog you down with lots of scientific jargon but got to the facts quickly. He also honored victims throughout which was refreshing in true crime arena.

Narrator problematic

The narrator had problems with pronunciation, spoke in a staccato clip and sometimes affected manner that detracted from the overall seriousness of the subject matter.

disappointed

it seems the author watched 48 hours and did a book report on it. it had exactly same information in it. Several pages were actually just definition of mental illness and medicines prescribed read straight from a medical book. The definition of intermittent sentences was also just read from statutes word for word.
