This is true crime where the victims were gay men and includes crime scene information. I appreciate that it focused more on the victim's lives instead of venerating the killer.seriouslybookedup's review against another edition

I was particularly moved and horrified by the court transcript of Harrow who had to relive the trauma of his assault and then had to watch as the perpetrator was set free - despite all the credible evidence. And, I was also surprised by the bizarre connection to Rudy Giuliani and how his indirect (maybe?) involvement may have sabotaged any efforts to investigate similar unsolved murders.
I felt like there were so many coincidences and connections that made this book feel intimate to me (e.g. I live in Orlando and the killer went to school in Florida where suspiciously similar unsolved case took place in Orlando). I was riveted and deeply moved by the spotlights on each victim which I think the author handled with a lot of compassion and care.
