Poorly written in some places. Some of the stories felt rushed. Each killer was only given 3-5 pages of information and many of the details of the heavy hitters like Bundy and Dahmer were glossed over. The Columbine story wasn’t even finished. The authors moved onto the next story right in the middle.
I understand that this was on the bargain shelf, but this felt like the authors just pumped it out for the sake of quantity instead of quality.

Kudos to my friend Pete for letting me borrow this! I must have read it in a week or so? I study Forensic Psychology and Criminology so any book about Serial Killers, Psychopaths, and Murders, that I can get my hands on, I devour. I swear it's brain food for my ever-curious mind!
