OK; not great, not terrible. The author does list an impressive array of unsolved serial-murder cases, thumbnailing each one for you in a few paragraphs. This is another author who seems to have a slew of information on my old buddy Bela Kiss, one of the best-loved uncaught serial murderers, but he doesn't tell you where he got it. He also sneers quite a bit at Joel Norris and Jay Robert Nash for making mistakes in their books, but he overlooks more than a few mistakes in his own. On the bright side, he includes an address where the reader can send him more information and corrections.
