This book was a quick but not exciting read. As a consumer of all things True Crime, I found myself often catching incorrect details like the timing of the Otero murders by BTK and some of the details of the crimes of John Wayne Gacy. The book did include crimes that occurred internationally, which was refreshing and provided me with new information regarding crimes that I may not have heard about otherwise. However, the writing was extremely elementary and the book felt like the writings of an amateur fan, rather than a well-researched non-fiction piece.

As I ween myself from too many true crime docos, I return to the books. This, an overview, individual chapters on 70s mass murderers, is sloppy, simple work; feels like it might have been researched by ChatGPT and Wikipedia. A few wrong dates and oversimplifications. Not mad I read it, as it was a swift read. But it didn’t need to happen. (That’s the same for the crimes too, in a punishing understatement).
