    About this audiobook

    In this thriller from a #1 New York Times bestselling true crime author, a detective's obsession with an infamous serial killer could lead to her demise.

    Ted Bundy. One of America's most notorious serial killers. For two women, he is the ultimate obsession. One is a cop whose sister may have been one of Bundy's victims. The other is a deranged groupie who corresponded with Bundy in prison-and raised her son to finish what Bundy started. To charm and seduce innocent girls. To kidnap and brutalize more women than any serial killer in history. And to lure one obsessed cop into a trap as sick and demented as Bundy himself . . .

    Contains mature themes.

      Not a pleasant listen. Not just the subject matter, but the characters. These are not people I want inhabiting my brain. Most were sick, sick, sick individuals. Even the good people, I.E. Grace & Shane, Cissy and the male detective, not one was someone I'd want to sit and have beers with (that's how I define a good person - someone you'd want to socially interact with at a human level). It held my interest, and I wanted to find out what happens, but it was a slog. Afterward, I just felt like I needed to take a shower. The book could have been shorter. Many themes and ocurrances were covered then covered again, lots of repetition. A good editor could have cut about 20% of the book, and it would have been tighter and moved forward better. Often times I couldn't tell if I was in the past with Ted Bundy or in the present day with a character reading one of his letters - it was confusing at times. All in all, not one of Mr. Olsen's best, but he's a really good author, and I will read more of his books. The narrator did a decent enough job, but it's hard to grade her since the source material was just really hard to listen to at times. This is not a great work of fiction. On to the next.
    • 4/5
      Decent enough and really held my interest. The end of the book was very anti-climactic. I didn't know it was about to end it's like it just stopped in mid-sentence. Still a decent book with lists of twists, turns, multiple characters and past and present tense scenes as well.
    • 5/5
      Very good read. Ending was a twist. Slow build and creepy characters.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic story
      I loved it - found Graces mother infuriating but the story was really absorbing - great final twist too
    • 5/5
      I love the research involving the true serial killers this book was absolutely excellent I highly recommend it!
