This was interesting to read as it tackles on the way women are perceived during 70s to 90s, the incompetency of the police force, and how the media portrays serial killers in a sensational way which in turn can be used as an advantage for the police force to create the narrative that they are so methodical in their ways that it's hard to track them when in actuality, they just can't do their job right. 

Loved the message behind it but at times, it was hard to keep up with the stories since it's an alternating views. I recommend reading this when you have a lot of free time to really immerse yourself to the story since that wasn't the case for me.
