Search - The Stranger Beside Me

This is a chilling account of a case that I only vaguely remember from my childhood. It was a little tough to get into reading, but once you get past the first few chapters it's a tough one to put down.

Anne Rule started her crime-writing career by accident when she realized the serial murderer she was helping to investigate bore a striking resemblance to her former coworker and friend, Ted Bundy.

The best and most detailed and revealing story of this famous murderer ever written. Fantastic photos as well, including a personal letter written by Bundy to the author. A frighteningly close look into the mind and habits of a cold-blooded killer who managed to fool a lot of people for a while . . .

This tour de force is Ann Rule's first true crime bestseller. It tells the story of serial killer Ted Bundy, who just happened to be Ms. Rule's acquaintance during the early years of his killing spree. The book recounts Bundy's crimes and Ms. Rule's shock as she comes to understand that the likeable young man she knows is a brutal and clever serial killer of women. A memorable read.

it is absolutely amazing that you can be friends with a killer and live to tell about it. I am glad they finally killed Ted Bundy but it would have been great if he would have given all the families closure in who he killed and where they were. If he truly had two personalities I guess it is possible that he doesn't know all the people he did kill and where he put them.

Much better than most of her true crimes which I think focus on trials and courtroom drama too much. Great insight into Bundy's outrageous crimes.

Great book. Ann Rule is the best, and it will freak you out there are people like this guy!
