@Hill she’s one of my favorite authors, but I know she has a couple of books out that I haven’t gotten yet, which is why I asked!

I just finished I’ll Be Gone in the Dark. It’s such a shame she died before they caught the Golden State Killer.

@Dee it is very detailed and you feel as if you went back in time. We live in WI so when I went to Chicago I saw some of the buildings discussed still standing. So darn good!

I find the story fascinating…. More than likely a loose inspiration for Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes…

Ann Rule about John Wayne Gaycy. Google Jeffrey Dahmer to read a really gross and chilling account of his murders. Helter Skelter. I am a nice person, but I love serial killer stories. Oh! Devil in the White City.
