The author was an acceptable writer, considering he's an editorial cartoonist, not a professional non-fiction writer.
However, well informative, the book seemed to drag on forever. It was a bit too slow-paced for my liking. I assume he was writing the book, or basing the book on notes, written over many years. I think he should have edited it to make it flow smoother.
The book didn't tell me much I didn't already know, but I'm sure when it originally came out in the 80s it provided new information. If you've listened to a podcast or two on the case, then there's no need to read this book.
Narrator Rating: 2 stars
It felt like they picked a narrator from a trashy true crime documentary. His voice just had that, I'm a creepy, scary, bad man quality to it.
Graphic: Death, Blood, and Murder
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Gun violence, Sexual violence, Violence, Grief, and Stalking
Minor: Cursing, Gore, Torture, and Injury/Injury detail
