The thing about real life crime stories (as opposed to fictional ones) is that there often aren't clear-cut answers. As a result, the resolution of the tale may not be as satisfying...but it may be more thought-provoking. Anyway, it makes for interesting reading.

Headed to Florida as a wishlist RABCK; I'm counting this as a release for GoryDetails's 2012 Chills and Spills Read and Release Challenge.

This book also released for bookczuk's Darkness to Light Release Challenge since Al was apparently abused as a child. Not that abuse necessarily excuses what he did...but if less childhood abuse leads to fewer serial killers, that works for me.
