This was good. The story starts right out with a tense confrontation between the wanted man and the police, and then doubles back through his life starting back when his parents got married, to show us how he got here. Warren was caught primarily because he broke a cardinal rule of serial murder, and if his drug-addled self had been a little smarter he might still be killing people to this day. I feel this book would have been better if Bellini had told us more about the additional murders this man may have committed, and lightened up on the shoot-from-the-hip psychoanalysis.

I read this so many years ago that I can't remember any details. What I remember is the title and the pic on the cover of the man this is about.
I don't remember being underwhelmed and this is an author I hadn't read before this book.

I can't remember this one much either, I do remember it was a fast read, one of those just the facts TC.

An okay (if somewhat overly long) true-crime book about a dirtbag who kills women in several states, with many pages devoted to his childhood. I lost track of how many times the word "reckon" was used by the author and the people he quoted.
