⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Randomly snagged this in an Audible sale a few months ago. I‘d never heard of the I-5 Killer, but damn, this guy was a total lunatic. How he was ultimately detained in the time before DNA testing was a thing is pretty incredible. Ann Rule is the true crime queen. I need to read more of her.

One of several Ann Rule books I've got going at the moment. Can't stop. Won't stop. I mean...until they go back to the library for a bit and then of course I'll be back for them!!

WOW!! If you like true crime stories- this book is for you. A true Criminal Minds episode, on steroids, come to life. If disturbing, sadistic, complete soullessnes actions from a human being gets to you- I would suggest you never open this book!

Interesting listen. I didn‘t know anything about Randall Woodfield. He‘s pretty full of himself. 🙄 glad he was caught! 🎧🌟🌟🌟🌟

Working on an audiobook while working out. Hoping to get 20 hours this time for #20in4 😊

I knew nothing about this serial killer, which is rare because I‘ve read and watched so much #truecrime. Ann Rule is the undisputed queen of the genre and she certainly didn‘t disappoint in this coverage of the crimes committed in Oregon and California in the late 70s. The audiobook is available on #hoopla.

The subject is pretty interesting, a master manipulator, although not a master of disguise -known for committing his violent crimes in a obviously fake beard and a bandaid on his nose. Honestly baffled at how some of these people get away with it for so long.

The way it‘s written reminds me of the tiktok audio “her ears were cut off.. her nose was cut off..”

Eh

Checking another off my #bookspinbingo board

This is my first Ann Rule and it was pretty standard as far as true crime books go. Remind me a bit of mindhunter

Not pictured: the cream cheese donut I already ate. 🤤 #tea

When my mom asked for ideas for me for Christmas, I told her “I have been enjoying Ann Rule books and have only two, so a couple more would be nice.” Yeah I think I‘m set for awhile. 😍 (My husband asked for the toaster.)

I left for work with only about 20 pages left. I definitely brought another book with me. I loved this one. Another hard to put down true crime novel. I think I‘ve definitely found my favorite genre.

⭐️: 5/5

This book has me wanting to delete my dating profile 🙈

Continuing on my true crime kick. I was going to take a break from it but wanted a shorter book since Mindhunter should be coming in the mail today! I‘m so excited to start reading that one. It‘s another quiet day at work so I‘ll definitely be reading.

📚: 39/52

I‘m about 4 hours into this one. I just keep thinking that there were so many signs and previous crimes! So much could have prevented! But, the last book I listened to was The Psychopath Test, which had me thinking that despite the signs, it‘s not fair to lock someone away because of some unusual behavior or high scores on a checklist So....🤷‍♀️

I love a true crime story every now and again. Ann Rule is among my favorite true crime writers. This story in particular chilled me to the bone! #annrule #thei5killer #truecrime

Holy crackers, this was good. I mean, creepy and terrifying, but excellent. After reading Stranger Beside Me, it was refreshing to read one that Ann Rule was not personally involved with. How did anyone survive the 70s in the Pacific Northwest? So many serial killers!

Also, the audio was excellent, and I really loved the narrator!

Read this for the #murderino challenge, for the By Ann Rule box. Thanks @shanebeth 😁 #ssdgm

I'm sending out my MFM Book Club summer swap book today! So excited to see what everyone gets!

When I was younger I was fascinated with psychology and serial killers...yes, I'm strange...but I think that is what happens when your mom grows up near Ed Gein and you grow up near Jeffrey Dahmer. I got hooked again last year because of the book Mindhunter and the Netflix series. A coworker recommended anything by Ann Rule. Great recommendation! 5/5

I love true crime novels. Even though I don't usually consider them "scary", this one did freak me out a bit. This guy was active in my hometown and killed around places that I know very well. Do people in big cities feel this a lot or is it just because my town is relatively quiet, so this feels extra creepy?

Finished this one during my lunch break - this guy was a REAL nasty piece-of-work scumbag. His story left me with a pretty serious case of the heebie-jeebies. #murderino #ssdgm

Library book haul - I just can't resist.
