An excellent read for anyone interested in true crime.
My main concern with this book going in was that the cases were going to be ones I'd never heard of before. To be honest, 3/4 of the cases were that, except John does an amazing job at bringing in other cases (Ed Kemper, Son of Sam, etc.) in to understand these killers.
This book is not for the light hearted, as it heavily deals with murder, sexual assault (of both minors and adults), torture, child abuse, etc., but if you can handle that subject matter than I highly recommend this read.
