A review by bubblewombat
Cries in the Desert (St. Martin's True Crime Library) by John Glatt
dark
informative
sad
medium-paced
3.5
So I liked the audio (it feels like it's always the same narrator for John Glatt books?), but I think I would've had an easier time understanding who was who if I was also reading the book myself at the same time as listening to it.
Because there were so many people, and several times I was like "wait, who's he talking about now?", but didn't go back to check because then it would be a pain to figure out where in the audio I stopped and yeah.
But I will say that it was an interesting, albeit too detailed book. I don't remember hearing about this case, or if I had I probably put it out of my mind. It's very surprising to me that this case, and this serial killer isn't more well known based on the types of crimes he (and his accomplices) committed.
