Butcher, Baker: A True Account of a Serial Murder by Walter Gilmour, Leland E. Hale
4.0
dark informative medium-paced

 This book is on the reading list for The Last Podcast On The Left, which is why I got this with my audible credits. This book tells the story of Robert Hansen, who kidnapped, raped, and murdered women in Alaska. He focused mostly on transient prostitutes, as a lot of serial killers do, in hopes that their disappearances would not raise any alarm. Most people assumed that he was a run of the mill husband and businessman, but he certainly had a nasty side to him. Police estimate he had thirty or more victims, though the number he confessed to was considerably less than that. It was amazing how long he was able to get away with his miscreant ways. This was an informative, interesting book.
