Title: Disappointing
Product review: I had high hopes for this book, having read previous works by Ann Rule, including I-5 Killer and Stranger Beside Me. The sheer number of murders attributed to the GRK, together with his ability to elude police for years before he was finally caught, made his story one that intrigued me greatly. This book, though, leaves much to be desired. Most of the book is devoted to how each victim lived her life prior to dying at the hands of the killer. Very little of the book is given to fleshing out the life of the GRK, or getting into his mind as he sets out to kill. The book picks up a little at the end as the GRK is interrogated and begins to tell his story to the police. However, it is too little, too late, for by the last few pages, I felt mercifully glad to be finished, so that I could go on to another, different book.
