This book is organized (or not-so-much) in a seemingly random, disjointed way. The author tries to tie it altogether in the end, but not well enough. It turns out this is not only a "true" story but one in which not even those in the story the one writing it knows for sure if the events are completely accurate. But the best part of the book is the ending. Unfortunately it is missing. The book just ends with the presentation of evidence in the trial of the killer you have been trying to find with the police throughout the book and of the potential mishandling of that evidence by police. And that's it. Want to know more? Go to Google.A better suggestion is to go to Google first, look up Grim Sleeper, and skip this sort book completely. Sorry, Paul. Not my kind of book. I understood this was to be a somewhat fictionalized account of an actual serial killer murder case. I think that's stretching it a little. Some parts of it read like a novel and other parts sound like someone reading a wikipedia article to you. Overall, I found the book to be disturbingly interesting, but it seemed like it was shoddily put together. And then add to that, the book just ended very abruptly with the case seemingly having been solved, but the perpetrator not yet convicted. Seems like maybe they should have waited until the trial was concluded before publishing a book of this nature.
What do You think about Homicidal (2011)?
Meh! Glad it was free! I don't like true crime stories written before there is resolution...

I didn't connect to any character, making the story seem somewhat sterile.
