I am a white woman. I love a good serial killer book or serial killer story in general but this like did not hook me in and it just thrown on forever and ever.

The opening featured some rehash material if you’re a reader of Douglas’s previous books. Then it gets down to the data about capturing a white supremacist sniper who started in the 70s. The whole account in my opinion was a little anemic. The trial and everything was covered in very few pages. I just don’t think there was a lot of revealing information there. However, the best section of the book was the epilogue about how this sniper had become a hero to the fascist and racist movements. There was even an interesting piece about the FBI’s monitoring of Nazis and white supremacists through their publications and how these individuals within the movement had gleaned from Trump’s rhetoric that Trump had “promised to return the country to us (white supremacists)”. Guess that matches the FBI’s recent declaration that domestic terrorism by white supremacists is the most dangerous current faction in the country. Just amazing that the guy running the country wouldn’t denounce and summarily condemn such a thing. Kind of makes one wonder?

One of the most prolific serial killers I’ve ever heard of, and I’d never even heard of him until I read this book. Incredible research and story telling.

Wow this took me a LONG time to finish lol. I've come to realize that the reason I loved Mindhunter & The Killer Across the Table so much is because they discussed a variety of serial killers as opposed to just focusing on a select few, as they did in this one. This definitely have good discussions and little tidbits of new knowledge about the world of John Douglas's career, however, and I'll keep reading his books regardless.
