The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule

dark informative slow-paced

4.0

An informative look at one of the most notorious serial killers in history. Well written for the most part and well researched so I can see why it's considered a classic. I was under the impression that Ann Rule was a closer friend of Bundy's coming into this than she actually was. They were coworkers for a short time but the bulk of their relationship was through letters and phone calls. She gets a bit too deferential towards law enforcement and seems to want to hand wave how much Bundy manipulated her personally but aside from that it's a good read.
