Strangler

1 1/2 stars.

At times the author was unnecessarily and disrespectfully vulgar concerning the victims. There is no reason to say a child victim “shit herself” when she died. How about this? “The victim was so frightened that she defecated on herself during the rape.” It's still brutal to read about a child, but it's a more professional and respectful manner in which to describe the crime scene.

He also joined with the perpetrator once, in a disturbing way: a national expert on sex offenders who treated the defendant was testifying in court about the pornography the defendant had (that he was not supposed to have during treatment), and how it all depicted women looking young: ankle socks and shaved pubic hair. The author interjected with a rather gross aside about why some people prefer it “clean”. Excuse me?
