True crime is my favourite genre in non fiction. To be honest, serial killer is a fascinating topic in fiction or nonfiction work. It does bring a lot of different perspective in a term of setting, killing method and the progress of solving the case.
As for Zodiac Killer, the killing spree is around December 1968 till early 70's. It become a fascinating case for a cipher code that accompanied with the killing as it is a way for a killer to get an attention from authority.
I do admit that I take quite a long time to finish this book. There are some chapters that hard for me to digest. But overall, a lot of the information in this book is crucial to build a case and building a character of the killer.
And up until now, Zodiac Killer still remain unknown.

3.75/4 stars. reading this for the reading rush challenge: read a book that you’ve seen the movie adaptation of. the movie is one of my faves, so i was intrigued by this. this book was so well researched and really well done. at times it can seem like a lot, but i thought it was a well done well researched true crime book. it the zodiac killer interests you, id definitely recommend.

Speaking from experience, don’t listen to this book while walking alone at night. But in all seriousness Graysmith does a great job summarizing this case and isn’t too speculative when summarizing the suspects. I would maybe read the follow up. I need to rewatch the movie after reading this book, too.
