5.0
I think this book could also be classified as a historical fiction novel in addition to a thriller. It was hard to read given the subject matter and was a slow burn for me. It is based on the Ted Bundy killings at the FSU sorority house and one of his earlier murders where two friends of victims are bonded. It was really well-written and researched and I appreciated the intentionality of using "The Defendent." Highly recommend.
