so-soOK, now this is a really interesting hypothesis: did the preponderance of serial killers (Ted Bundy, BTK Killer, Green River Killer, I-5 Killer, the Night Stalker etc) in the 1970s & 1980s around the American Pacific Northwest have links to the high levels of environmental pollution of that time? Lead, cadmium, & arsenic were just some of the pollutants belching out of industrial smelters & Tacoma, (continued)
pick4⭐️ Really enjoyed this #reread. I feel like I found new things in the book even though the story was the same. #2025 #bookclub #nonfiction #truecrime
pickThis is a well written and damning expose. Every single executive that has ever been at this company should be in jail. The reckless, callous disregard for human life and dignity in the quest for profits is mind-boggling. I knew I‘d be angry by the time I finished, but I had no idea of the scope of this company‘s depravity. My heart is broken for all of the people who suffered because of the greed and corruption of J&J, doctors, and the FDA.
pickI found this well-written, but slow. While it features a cold case with a solve I thought was unexpected, it‘s really more a book about the four women “carpool detectives”: how they met, how they began researching the cold case, and their struggles both with law enforcement and navigating COVID.

pickHow do you accurately review a book like this? It‘s an important book to have around for the person and to the intended audience. I had a hard time doing this book in long stints.
Unfortunately the way this book is written makes it a very difficult read. The vital information needed is buried underneath an avalanche of superfluous information - just what is the fascination with bridges? What do road traffic accidents on said bridges have to do with serial killers? Interesting stats maybe, but not relevant here.
