The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule was great. The author was friends with Ted Bundy and was unknowingly investigating and writing about his crimes while they were happening.
If You Tell by Gregg Olsen is an insane and heartbreaking story about the daughters of Shelly Knotek. It was honestly hard to get through because of how detailed it was. I listened to the book on Audible and I felt guilty for hearing what happened to these victims.
I also just read I’ll Be Gone in the Dark. And next up is American Predator by Maureen Callahan which is about Israel Keyes. I hope these help!
