I am a court reporting student. In school we read through and practiced writing, what i believe to be, all of the transcripts from the of the official Iceman case. Would anyone happen to know if there is any overlapping material? I am a little behind, since its the middle of October already, and i might just wait to jump in at the beginning of November. Thanks for any input.

Not yet. I’ll remind Peter today when we talk. Things have been a little crazy for both of us. :)
It hasnt. I had a family emergency happen yesterday so we havent been able to connect. Thanks for your patience, everyone! :)
So, I know this is like a week late so I apologize. Our Jan 2020 read is If You Tell by Gregg Olsen.

Hi! ICYMI, our March read is Butcher, Baker: A True Account of a Serial Murder by Walter Gilmour.

Wasn't this case discussed in Mindhunter? Cool.


I enjoyed Mindhunter very much because it had the thought behind the crimes and how the police worked on the case. This was about how the killer killed his victims, which in turn we learned nothing about the victims nor their families and how they were effected. This book could have been so much more. It was like a true crime harlequin romance novel.
But I felt like the ending redeemed the first half-ish of the book. I did enjoy how they were able to get the killers confession but that’s about it. I really wanted to like this book but there was so many holes and missed opportunities it was like a bland piece of swiss cheese.
