dark tense slow-paced

3.5

   This book was highly informative, it went over the BTK case in detail, but a bit too much detail. I didn’t need to know every move the police and reporters made. I think they tried to make themselves part of the story's heroes because the writers were the reporters. They did give the police a lot of credit, but also, in my opinion, overinflated their roles. 

  Overall, it was an intense book, I am glad they didn’t get overly graphic in their depictions of the crimes, it was graphic but not salaciously so. If you already know quite a bit about this case, you may still learn a few things, mostly corrections of commonly misreported things. However, if you follow reputable sources that do their homework, then you won’t learn much from this book. 

 

Narrator Rating: 4.0 stars 

  The narrator did an acceptable job, but nothing special. Still better than most non-fiction narrators, but certainly not the best.
