Twenty-five years after Richard Ramirez left 13 dead, paralysing the city of Los Angeles, his name is still synonymous with fear, torture, and sadistic murder. Philip Carlo's US best seller The Night Stalker, based on three years of meticulous research and extensive interviews with Ramirez, reveals the killer and his horrifying crimes to be even more chilling than anyone could have imagined.

...but I was impressed. There is so much detail and explanation from the author, and yet not in a way that glorifies the gruesome realities of Ramirez’s crimes. It made all the people involved truly human — so many times, my heart broke for total strangers who I suddenly felt like I knew. This is impressive to me because I come from a law enforcement/emergency services background, and so I’m used to remaining appropriately detached. I choose books like this because I want to understand the psychology of the psychopath, but Philip Carlo brought much more to this book than just that.
Parts of interviews with Ramirez were also included, which was a nice surprise. He confirmed the opinion I’ve developed of serial killers that they know exactly what they’re doing when they do it — they’re not “crazy” in sense of having lost control. There’s no diminished capacity — they do what they do because they like it.
I was really pleased with the narration, too. Jeff Harding is easy to listen to, as well as well-spoken. He also modified his voice accordingly so it’s easy to follow which character is speaking.
I learnt so much, and I’d definitely consider titles by this author and this narrator again in future.

The Zodiac serial killer claimed the lives of at least five young victims between 1966 and 1974, and mocked the police with telephone calls, taunting letters, and encrypted messages. Thousands of men have been accused; nearly 2,500 have been investigated. Yet the Zodiac has never been identified. This painstakingly researched and meticulously detailed compendium to the Zodiac serial killer case by true crime author Mark Hewitt presents the crimes and their effect on a community.

The book is great...

...but the narration is average. There were numerous mispronunciations (to the point that the words weren’t actually the words they were meant to be). It wasn’t to do with regional pronunciation, either — I always allow for that. These were simply errors. It was very distracting to me, and detracted from the story. But if you can look past this, the author has done a very detailed and comprehensive job, and I discovered a lot about the Zodiac. Very interesting.
