I am one of those people who love true crime tv shows, and real life crime and forensics.
This book caught my eye as I had heard of the murderers but didn’t know the stories behind their capture. Only one of these happened in Australia which I knew about, but not the details as is written about here. As soon as I saw some of the names on the back, I knew I was meant to read it. Some of these murderers have been referenced in the tv show ‘Criminal Minds’ (which I love) because of the way they went about killing people.
It was a quick and easy read although some of the content could be deemed graphic, gory or grisly.
