3.5 stars

I'm old enough to remember this story breaking,and reading Killing for Company a while later.
The new tv show has sparked interest in Nilsen again.
He's a fascinating study... the way he just gave himself up calmly once questioned.
This book gives insight into the victims,which I thought was good,as so many of them still aren't known.
It's very interesting reading,if you like this sort of thing

I read this book in a sitting and could not turn the pages fast enough. It goes beyond an account of true crime to explore police procedures, the psychology of victims who do not press charges and the circumstances which may contribute to the making of a killer. Some of the details are hard to read - the author does not pull any punches - but the facts are recounted with respect and I think readers will appreciate the author’s effort to give the victims the acknowledgement they deserve. These are terrible crimes and this book is a detailed, well written, raw account which will ensure they are not forgotten.
