Review: The Scientist and the Serial Killer

I have a great fascination for all things true crime. As a day one fan of My Favorite Murder and having watched America’s Most Wanted as a kid with my big sister, I can safely say - yes, true crime is one of my many things. This is why I jumped at the chance to read and review Lise Olsen’s The Scientist and the Serial Killer.
I appreciated the time and effort it took into writing this book. Olsen did a wonderful job in gathering so much information for her book and for portraying it in the best way possible to give the reader a “picture” of the time these awful murders happened. The writing maintained respect and grace for the victims and their families, while still providing information in a thorough and interesting way.
While I recommend this book to anyone who has a hankering for true crime, I also don’t think true crime beginners should necessarily start with this book unless you are open to the type of pacing true crime books have. There can be a lot of jumping back and forth, for example. If you are open to being flexible to having many individuals being mentioned, as well as different timelines, then yes, please do read this. For seasoned true crime readers - pick this up, you will not be disappointed in my opinion.
