Behold The Monster by Jillian Lauren

How do you sit across the table from a monster and not flinch? Jillian Lauren wrote to a convicted killer while researching a book and when he started to tell her everything it began her strange journey down Alice's rabbit hole into the mind of a serial killer. Sam Little strangled over 61 women as confirmed by the FBI and it could be more making him this country's most prolific serial killer. The author carefully worked her way into Sam's confidence gaining access to his detailed memories unlocking the locations of his victims. Not only did this give some closure to the victim's families but added useful information about the psychological makeup of serial killers. I don't know how she managed to visit him in prison for several years slowly gaining his confidence and then working with FBI and police in several states. An interesting psychological study that satisfies our morbid curiosity of the monsters who walk among us. On a spooky side note there is a list of the victims with photographs and the portraits that Sam Little did of them. Guaranteed to make all true crime readers engaged.  4 stars
