Welcome to Litsy!

A psychological look at some famous serial killers. A look at patterns, motivation and why they kept killing. It does get a bit wordy at times so took me a while to get through it. 3*

I really liked this. Have to admit, though, there was more than once where I said to myself – call the police! Don‘t do these things yourself (and that includes “talking to” Frank – he‘s not a cop, anymore!). This was the 2nd book in a series, but to be honest, I remember next to nothing of the first book, so I would say you don‘t need to read the first one first

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Making a point to read more Ann Rule. This, her 23rd book, covers the Green River Killer, one of America‘s most prolific murderers. For 20 years, authorities diligently pieced together evidence until technological advances in DNA profiling came into existence. Rule does something I really appreciate here. She tells us about many of the victims; their lives, not just their horrific deaths. This, of course, led me down a GRK rabbit hole.

I love watching shows like 20/20, 48 Hours and Dateline, and this book fell right along with that. Douglas and Olshaker write about the beginning of the Behavioral Unit at the FBI. They look at the behind the scenes.

The first part of the book dealt with Douglas' early life and time at the FBI. I would have preferred they looked at more cases. Some of the cases they explored I knew about, but there were quite a few I didn't. Overall, ⬇️

I listened to this one over audio, great narration. What a wild ride of a book. Amber Jamison can‘t believe her bad luck when she‘s abducted by a serial killer. She‘s rescued by a mysterious woman. After Amber leaves college to escape what happened she falls back into her old patterns. Her escape west has her meet a true crime Vegas group & her mysterious rescuer. A story full of twists & a quick, fun listen. #bookspin book
