[Hailey Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was very informative and I believe gave justice to the victims in the sense that their individual encounters with Dahmer were shared, and all of their names were. It did an incredible job explicitly describing the police departments failure to arrest him, even as the evidence laid right before them. I learned a lot about Dahmer specifically, but also about the way court trials such as this one work.

I love this series, even when I’m creeped out by the subject.
