This book was hard for me to read. It happened just a few miles from my town in Truth or Consiquences, New Mexico. It is really scarry to know there are people out there like this. It is Jim Fielder'd first true crime book and I think he did an all right job. He rambles a little bit about stuff that is not important to the story in my opinion. He is no Anne Rule but he knows his stuff. Enjoy reading this book I did.

If you are a true crime fan, you will enjoy this book. The author has a similar style to Ann Rule. The story is very interesting, but not for the easily upset. There are some very graphic parts to this book.

I read this book and was deeply disturbed. I read certain passages to my granddaughter because,young people think they are invincible and nothing can happen to them. It made her more careful. She never goes out without friends or a group. The fact that it's a true story makes it even more chilling.

Absolutely horrifying true crime. The pathology is interesting, if gruesome and might shine a light on getting citizens to wake up to the seemingly benign weirdos in their communities. i knew some of this monsters family, and even though they were superficially normal and respected within the community, their dynamic was almost as bizarre and wretched as David Ray Parker
I like to read true crime books, however, this one was so graphic in describing the crimes, I had to put it down. I never finished reading it,
