Serial Killers


457929. sx318

Today's post is on Serial Killers by Time Life Books. It is 192 long with notes, bibliography, credits and is published by Time Life Books. The cover is half picture of Ted Bundy and half the killers profiled inside. There is foul language, talk of rape, sex, and sexuality, and violence in this book. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From amazon- Recounts the cases of Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Dennis Nilsen, and David Berkowitz, and briefly surveys earlier celebrated killers, including Jack the Ripper and the Boston Strangler.

Review- This is a general look into four different serial killers. Who they were, when they killed, their victims, and some into how policing changed in their wakes. This is not a book for the faint of heart, the crimes are described, there are pictures of the crimes, and the reader gets an inside look into the minds of these murderers. But if you are a true crime junkie and want to know more about these four killers then you should look at this book. The middle section is a series of vignettes of fourteen other serial killers from the past like the 15th century Gilles de Rais to Richard Ramirez the Night Stalker. If you are looking for a every single fact about any one this these murderers then you need to get a book just about them.

I give this book a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I was given this book a gift by a friend.
