Zodiac

"The story of the infamous “Zodiac” serial killer of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Like a lot of these stories from the past, much of their ability to kill was based on police work having almost no systems or processes to solve things across counties. It is a little difficult now to look back with a modern lens and see just how much evidence they had. Really well written book by someone who became really close to this story. I really appreciate the structure as it was so easy to follow. But…the Zodiac was never found. "

"This is a fast paced but very detailed read about the Zodiac killer, and how police and reporters worked to solve the mystery of who he was. "

"This is my first true crime novel. I'm quite surprised I actually enjoyed it some. There was loads of information which at first I found daunting but later on got used to. The evidence was made even more intriguing since it was the first time the Zodiac records had all be compiled together.<br/><br/>Of course this wasn't a movie there is no action just hard cold facts. But the interviews and documents were highly interesting. Not knowing much about forensics everything was explained very well. Also Stefan Rudnicki is an amazing narrator and easy to listen too. His voice made things even more chilling and seemed to fit the era.<br/><br/>The end became drawn out after all the murders were mentioned. The story just went back over the 2 suspects out of 2,000 that the author thought was most likely to be the killer. Also I know he had to leave names out of the book but I found it a little distracting with and this is so and so (their name has been changed).<br/><br/>Honestly it would have made it better to get a theory on why the killer wasn't caught. I mean these things were mentioned but scattered out thru the text. And there was no bias against certain people on the case. Where some chasing ghost? Where others hindering? Not everyone is innocent and it would have been nice to have a little drama with the investigation team. Which could have been the reason for their downfall or just Zodiac's cleverness."

"Audiobook narrator makes this creepier than it actually is. Great book. "

"You are welcome. Great book"

"This book made me afraid of the dark again. Thrilling. "

"Not sure😬"

"I picked up this book to read because I find the idea of the Zodiac oddly fascinating. I was impressed with the movie, and when I learned that there was a book, I knew I had to give it a read. As I said, though I find the topic interesting, I cannot lie — this book was incredibly DRY. Though I guess there’s not much to work with true crime narratives, I just thought there would be a bit more… oomph to the book. I guess that’s why it took me so long to finish it. I could only do bits at a time or else, it all kind of ran together. I definitely found it interesting, his position and involvement on the case, and some of the insight that he wrote within the book, and I give a round of applause for the amount of extra research that Graysmith did while producing this narrative. I ended up giving this book only 3 starts because I found it exhausting at times, but still interesting and informative."

"Currently reading: All The Frequent Troubles of Our Days… not true crime, but a nonfiction recollection of an American women involved in the resistance movement against the Nazis. Informative, yet heartbreaking."

"Its depends on the genre because I have many.. some of my favorites are Isabel Allende, George Martin, Gabriel Garcia and some indies. Its the first time I used the app and planning on building more. I'm a forensic scientist sona lot of crime books "
