I thought this book was okay. it tackles a story I haven’t heard of seen on true crime television shows which was refreshing. it had Jack Olsen’s wonderful detailing. Kevin Pierce was as usual terrific as a narrator.
as for the content of the book, it was midrange. it kept my attention long enough to finish it, but I can’t see myself listening to it again like other books. you get the sense that you don’t really find anything out about George, which, given his penchant for secrecy about his own life, gives the reader a brief glimpse into the confusion and disorientation that victims experienced.
the tenderness and respect common in Jack Olsen’s writings give depth to those caught in George’s web, but not a lot of info on the victims themselves. there was an air of gaps filled with white noise. the flow a bit jerky.
overall it’s not a bad book, and if you like true crime this will read like McDonald’s. trusty, hits all the spots and then some that one may desire when diving into a true crime book. but it won’t be memorable and it won’t be filling and you might just wish you’d waited a bit longer to grab something a little more substantial.
