Darn. I did not write a review for this book and now I only know I really liked it.
s a fan of Looking for Mr Goodbar by Judith Rossner I was thrilled to hear there was another book written about this murder of Roseann Quinn.
With his book the author told us much more about the murderer John Wayne Wilson.
(The author again used aliases of both the victim and the killer and I am not sure why)
She paints his life of being of a young man who tried desperately to fight his demons by running away but show more in the end losing the battle. So in this book the killer is much more sympathetic.
She did use her imagination apparently as she also admits to in this book by making up conversations.
Normally U do not like that but this time I did not mind at all.
Not sure if I have to give it 4 or 5. I will give it 4 because the 5 stars is perhaps a bit prejudiced by me. ;) show less
