I like the way this book ended. It didn't go into everything that went on in court. It told that as the investigation took place. It simply stated his sentence and then had a short paragraph on the people involved and what was going on in their life later.

Interesting story and classic example that the scariest people around look perfectly normal. Sad for the women who had the misfortune to enter his orbit.
