Jerome Brudos, kidnapped, strangled, and hung women from a hook in the celling in order to take pictures and satisfy his deviant need for necrophilia. At the same time he was a “loving” husband and father of two children. Bummer, I know.
Ann Rule painstakingly researched the killer’s life and the unfortunate that came in contact with him. She includes court records and interviews that enable the reader to form his/her own opinion. Ann Rule coherently guides us through a horror show of aberrant psychology and crime. Lust Killer is an aptly chosen title of this work in true crime. What’s more, Rule points at certain behaviors in men that may provide an “early warning system ” to help women avoid potentially dangerous relationships or situations.
The death of Ann Rule has been a great loss to all of us. Fortunately, she was a prolific writer and she left us such great works of true crime, Lust Killer is just one great example.

I remember a time when I would tear through an Ann Rule like nobody's business. I don't know what has happened to her writing. This book felt like a chore to me and I was glad to see it end. Also, I don't care for her needlessly inserting herself into a story. In one of the stories, she mentions REPEATEDLY that her children attended school with the missing woman's children. This is NOT relevant, IMO, especially since she didn't know the missing woman, the children weren't friends, and she didn't even know anything about the missing woman's case until years later. I guess I just became less of a fan after reading The Stranger Beside Me and saw how hard she tried to make a story where there really wasn't one. I want to like her books, I do. But, she needs to write the stories and not insert herself into them.… (més)

I pretty much said all I needed to say about this book through the status updates I gave while reading it. It feels like it took forever to finish reading this book. While there were a few interesting parts, for the most part, the book just seemed to drag by. It got tiresome reading about her conflict over Bundy's guilt and the bits and pieces of her personal life. She came across as being too sympathetic toward Bundy and did not give nearly enough information about the victims. It ticked me off at one point in the book when she went to Florida and said that "Ted could never go home again." Well, neither could his victims - what about them? I love reading Ann Rule's books, but this one was a disappointment, because she just came across as a "Ted groupie" to me, except toward the very end when she finally stated her opinion on his guilt.… (més)

This was definitely not one of Ann Rule's better books, but I still did like a few of the stories.
