Lots of outdated language, even for 2018. Also, he was very dismissive of some victims, yes, they were devalued by society but the way he talked about them was just ugh! We need to do better!
It was very informative and I agree with his theory of why we ended up with such a surge of serial killers in the 70s-90s, and wonder if there could have been one again, but I think most will be caught sooner because of technology.
Overall, okay but not great.
Narrator Rating: 3 stars
The way he pronounced some words was distracting, and made them sound like words that meant something entirely different. But he did a decent job of keeping me engaged with the book.
