The Stranger Returns

Dit boek heeft alles in zich om verschrikkelijk slecht te zijn. En ergens is het dat ook: een ongeloofwaardig uitgangspunt dat een waargebeurde tragedie uitbuit, clichématige personages en een overschot aan drama. Maar ik heb het toch in sneltreinvaart met veel plezier uitgelezen, omdat de schrijver heel goed weet hoe je een spannend verhaal moet schrijven en het onderwerp, seriemoordenaars, altijd blijft fascineren.

This is a straight up guilty pleasure that you hide at the back of your book shelf in polite company and it doesn’t pretend to be anything more. I skipped over most of the Web bits tbh, but entertaining before bed read nonetheless.

This book was difficult to put down. However it was so unbelievable and far fetched that it ruined most of the book for me. It actually would’ve been better if it left out that it was Ted Bundy and instead had a copycat. At least then it would be a little bit plausible. I wasn’t much of a fan.

A slow build with unexpected twists and turns... I am obsessed with what makes serial killers who they are and this was fascinating!

Fictional account of what happened when Ted Bundy didn't actually die in the electric chair. Completely unbelievable and predictable fluff, but a quick and entertaining read.
