About
If you’re drawn to dark, tape-driven true-crime stories told from the perpetrator’s perspective, this should grip you, especially if you watched The Ripper; Not for you if graphic, unsettling crime details are too intense.
Pros: chilling first-person narration; gripping true-crime focus; tense, unsettling mood | Cons: disturbing subject matter; heavy, bleak tone; little relief or hope
