Incredible story.
I had to order the book at the library. I’m 332 in the queue.
I wrote that I didn’t see any reporting of surveillance...Other articles say there was - NY Post article said he’d been put under surveillance a few days before the arrest...That clears that up. I’d still like to know what tipped them off to watch him...I guess it will all come out soon.
Are you referring to the Michelle McNamara book? I read the book—I’m a fan of real/life crime non-fiction, such as Ann Rule’s book about Ted Bundy, the Jeffrey McDonald book Fatal Vision and the BTK one by the Wichita newspaper reporters. I’ve been fascinated w the GSK case for about a year and have watched all of the tv shows this past month.
My review of the book: It was very well written—she’s a very good writer with interesting stories and insights. A lot of the book focuses on herself and her story, which is fine—it kept my interest. But my one complaint (and 2 other people I know that read the book agreed) was that it didn’t give the reader a lot of the details of the crimes. She only wrote about some of them and not in the order they happened, which made it kinda hard to follow.
If you’re really interested in the details there’s a website I came across that provides information on every crime in order with all the grisly details—a lot of it comes from the police reports. I highly recommend it—you really get a feel for this guy and what he was like. The title is The Attacks and you have to click on each date for each crime. It took me a couple days to read them all, but well-worth the time.
