Killers Keep Secrets by James Huddle
2.0

Despite being a fan of true crime, I did not enjoy this one. It is an interesting concept for a book as the author is the ex-brother-in-law of Joseph DeAngelo and he writes about his experiences with him prior to his arrest. He regularly trusted DeAngelo with his children and never suspected him to be the East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer. However, the execution of the story was not done well. I feel like the author ran out of things to write about after 100 pages and turned to writing about infamous serial killers who committed similar crimes to DeAngelo. Overall, there are probably better books to read if you are interested in learning about the reign of terror of the Golden State Killer. (I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed above are my own.)
