Customer Reviews

Super informative

This is one of those books that’s part true-crime and part memoir. Honestly, I could have done without most of the memoir, but the parts on the case were well done. Some parts were a little hard to follow just because there’s SO MUCH information and so many winding roads in this case. Being from the area, I found it eerie to be able to picture a lot of the locations he mentions.
