I'm firmly out of my true crime phase, but I suspect this book might be better liked by those who are more interested in the genre.
I found the narration pretty dry and scattered. I know the author was attempting to tell the victims' stories, but it resulted in so many tangents about people who had no relevance to the crimes and made it hard for me to follow the main story. There wasn't a whole lot of mystery to the whole thing, but I don't think there was supposed to be.

It's true crime, so everything that's described is done in a very matter-of-fact way and is not glorified if that makes a difference.
