A murder case from 1982, when Alice McArthur is murdered. I found the case interesting, but the writing wasn't very good. It seemed repetitive and disjointed.
😊 Happy Reading 😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
As I'm in Australia I thought I'd listen and learn about a few Australian serial killer's.
Listened to this this on audio while working.
Not a bad book but the author made it too personal for my liking she should of just kept with the facts of this killer's.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Randomly snagged this in an Audible sale a few months ago. I‘d never heard of the I-5 Killer, but damn, this guy was a total lunatic. How he was ultimately detained in the time before DNA testing was a thing is pretty incredible. Ann Rule is the true crime queen. I need to read more of her.
My January #doublespin was a DNF. Might revisit it in the future when I‘m in a different mindset. Now off to finally make my February #bookspin list.
Think this is the best true crime book I‘ve read (but tbh I haven‘t read that many!) really compelling, and contained all the necessary forensic detail without feeling dry. Totally heartbreaking, but nice to be reading an updated version with a ‘happy‘ ending for some of the main players (Cinnamon).
November review dump incoming!
This was a very sad true crime story about a shocking disappearance in a quiet Tacoma neighborhood in 1961. An 8 year old girl vanished from her home one night, and the case was never solved. Later, of course, it would turn out that one of the teens she knew socially was Ted Bundy. The book tells the story of the Burr family and the investigation well, plus Bundy‘s early life.
Thanks @AWahle for sending me this!
3 of 5 #trappedinaspookyhouse picks read! I‘ll probably read Black Dahlia, but I might wimp out on American Psycho.
