Customer Reviews

Did not Do it for Me

I read True Crime more than most. This one just did not do it for me. I found the writing quite boring. I have thought about the reason and it is that the author did not make us feel anything for the victims. It was an account of what the killer was doing and thinking. Just not my cup of tea.

Great book

I read a lot of true crime books and all I can say is: spend the money and read the book. Crowley really gets into the mind of the killer. Awesome story-telling.

Astonishingly Detailed Account of a Horrible Crime

Kieran Crowley, veteran NY Post crime reporter, captures the essence of the NYPD's police investigation, the pain of the victim's, and the haunting horror of the Zodiac Killer's crimes. True crime stories can't be better written. Crowley's attention to detail is unmatched. Kudos!

Once you get started on this, u'll want more

This was the very first True Crime book that I had purchased. It's cleverly written and readers can get into the mind of Eddie the self proclaimed 'Zodiac 2'. It is a great book to start on if you have not read any True Crime books. Eddie's mind is complex and spuns intellectual thoughts, Kieran Crowley explores his mind and puts himself in Eddie's shoes to come up with this fantastic book. (not forgetting that he had an interview with Eddie himself) This book is a MUST BUY!!!

Bone chilling!!!!!

Heriberto "Eddie" Seda is a close proximity of the "Zodiac Killer" of the 60's, the story is quite good, if you get past the fact that Eddie acted quite normal, if you're into True Crime, this one is in the Top 10 of my favorite list.
