This was a sad, sad tale of murder. It was purely factual, and pretty dry. I read true crime, and have read it for years. This was okay, but not compelling. I was sorry for the victims, but was not moved as I have been with other stories of murders. It seemed the killer was more concerned with his reputation than the lives of those he claimed to love, which is not a justification in my mind. Perhaps my perspective is colored by all those years of true crime reading and documentaries.
