5 stars
In 2008, Marie placed a call to authorities saying that she
had been raped. It was a strange,
ritualistic, almost too perfect crime that after much doubt from the police and
Marie’s loved ones, was recanted. This
starts out the heartbreaking, terrifying and well-written account of horrific
serial rapist and the tireless case to catch him. This not only follows the crime but also the
victims and the discrepancy between idealized and actual victim behavior which
is especially relevant now. The authors
did a good job presenting the facts in a way that is not sensational but adds
suspense to the narrative. While I do not
recommend women reading this alone at night, but I thought this was important
and timely. I received a digital ARC of
this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
