This book is the personal account of Ann Rule, the crime writer, who met Ted Bundy, the serial killer, while they were both working at a crisis hotline. Her crime writing career took off due to her linking herself to this high profile murderer. She sent him money, wrote him letters, and had phone conversations with him in prison. Bundy was an interesting case study. He was violent, manipulative, and horrific. He was an absolutely cold blooded killer. I understand why he got the death penalty, and why it was carried out, but I think that there could have been more learned from him for the field of criminology and psychology. I bought this book a while back, but finally picked it up to read because it was listed on The Last Podcast On The Left reading list. I learned a lot about the case and trial, so it was a good read for me.
