Fishface | 18306 comments This one is by Maureen Callahan and is due out July 2, 2019. Which serial killer could it be!?!? The eyeballs on the book jacket remind me of Israel Keys, or maybe Caryl Chessman...

Fishface | 18306 comments I wonder what's supposed to be so meticulous about him?

From the blurb, "Most of us have never heard of Israel Keyes. But he is one of the most ambitious, meticulous serial killers of modern time. The FBI considered his behavior unprecedented. Described by a prosecutor as "a force of pure evil," he was a predator who struck all over the United States. He buried "kill kits"--cash, weapons, and body-disposal tools--in remote locations across the country and over the course of fourteen years, would fly to a city, rent a car, and drive thousands of miles in order to use his kits. He would break into a stranger's house, abduct his victims in broad daylight, and kill and dispose of them in mere hours. And then he would return home, resuming life as a quiet, reliable construction worker devoted to his only daughter."

Fishface | 18306 comments OK, that's a pretty good definition of "meticulous."

Too true. Sounds like it should be an interesting book.
