I am a true crime lover and I found this book stunning! Knoll certainly did her research on Ted Bundy. I was very fond of how she referred to the serial killer in this novel as the defendant. Although this was my first read by her, I will be reading more.

Wooooww!! Sooo good. Loved all the intricate layering pieces, that ultimately led to capturing one of America’s most wanted killers. It’s a time in history when justice took WAY too long to come to fruition. When being a woman was harder than it ever should have been. When the world saw a pretty girl, and blamed her, always. The way the story is told is remarkable, first eye account of a girl/woman who fought alll the way for her justice and that of others, that could not fight for themselves.🖤 While toggling back between a victim who saw it coming, but didn’t listen to her instincts. Really great book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
