great reading for true crime aficionados

this is one of the best true crime books i've read in a long time. it's up to the minute information on open cases worldwide is fascinating. who knew there were so many serial killers at large today. it seems that several of the cases in the book were solved by authorities while the author was writing it, which he includes as updates at the end of the respective chapters, giving us a great overview of the investigative process. a definite must read for all true crime aficionados.

a must read for anyone interested in serial killers

who knew there were so many serial killers throughout the world. I loved this book. it paints a fascinating picture of different serial killers on the loose and the investigators looking for them. in a couple chapters mendoza chronicles how suspects are finally brought to justice, giving us a first-hand look of how serial killers are caught.

This book is sick and spooky. I loved it.

I am a big true crime fan. What I like about Mendoza's book are the murderers he chooses to cover -- they're not the same one's you always hear about. His unadorned prose and direct approach storytelling lets the grisley facts speak for themselves. I couldn't put this book down but I'm glad I'm finished with it... it kept me up at night.
