Overall, pretty good. story takes a linear timeline which I like and there is a lot of information from the pastor to bolster the story so it isn't all gory and totally focused on the crimes themselves but more on Rader and why.
An interesting, easy read though I didn't really find it to be the classic it was advertised to be.

This is the book that taught me how to fool people. Without this book, none of my own work would have twists.
