This book by Michaud and Price is a decent read. It is about as well done as you can do a book with the topic. It ios a presentation of the story of a serial killer which makes it limited in interesst as well as method of writing.
It was interesting to learn what we could about him.

True crime about a serial killer who writes letters to a detective. A bedtime reading distraction. Not the kind of true crime I normally enjoy. I usually go more for the “hunt for” type books. In this one, the serial killer is already behind bars and confessing to more crimes. Not great, but not terrible either.
The story unfolds with a cold case being solved and subsequent arrest of Robert Charles Browne in 1995. The three cops assigned to break the case eventually convince Robert to spill the beans on potential other murders over the 25 year killing span (from 2000-2007)
The author uses a more matter-of-fact law enforcement tone, focusing more on the details of the case than the victims, their background, and the killer himself. Regardless, the mystery to Robert's claims is engaging, certain details of...more

Tedious, endless complications in getting this Robert Charles Brown to confess to other murder, started reading then skipped pages, in the end, went to the last few pages of the book, and finished "reading" it
Although not my typical read, proceeds from the sale of this book were received by the non-profit I am working for, Safe Passage (www.safepassagecac.org). This crime also occured where I currently live . . . we'll see if I get through this one.
.........dude was bad news. shows well enough how the human mind can be messed up. based on a true story...good reading if you're into crime stories.
This is very interesting so far. Jeff Nohr is someone I went to high school with upteen years ago. Saw him at our high school reunion and he told me about the book. So, I'm reading it.

While a little dry and slow in places, it was the methodology of the cold case detectives that made this interesting to me. Plus the fact that most of this went on less than 90 miles north of me. It was a nice break from the rest of my reading.

This was a decent read and focuses more generally on the efforts taken by some retired officers to tie together strings of murders that supposedly Robert Browne is responsible for.
It was a slow but interesting read. I never found myself overly enthusiastic about the story but wanted to finish it nonetheless.

Just arrived. ordered from bol.com
Interesting but to be honest a bit boring. Glad I was done with it. I do applaud those older detectives for working the cold cases!

saying I "read" this book isn't exactly true - I abandoned it about 100 pages in because I was bored stiff. Which was surprising, because I really liked Michaud's Ted Bundy books.
Pretty decent book. Robert Browne is a truly sick individual. Also knows just how to work the system in order to get what he wants.
A decent book, not as gripping or involved as some of the genre. For some reason I felt the book was skimpy.
