Ratings and reviews

If you love true crime books, youd love this book, its brilliant. Cant put it down once I started it. Highly recommend. X

This book had a lot of detail but very choppy, could have been better organized kinda felt throw together, overall a good read. The way it ended was confusing, interesting data poor execution.

Really good insight in to the crimes but would like it to delve deeper in to their minds as to why they did these things
