Behold the Monster

By Jillian Lauren & Michael Connelly
Behold the Monster by Jillian Lauren & Michael Connelly digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Jillian Lauren had no idea what she was getting into when she wrote her first letter to prolific serial killer Samuel Little. All she knew was her research had led her to believe he was good for far more murders than the three for which he had been convicted. While the two exchanged dozens of letters and embarked on hundreds of hours of interviews, Lauren gained the trust of a monster. After maintaining his innocence for decades, Little confessed to the murders of ninety-three women, often drawing his victims in haunting detail as he spoke. How could one man evade justice, manipulating the system for over four decades?

As the FBI, the DOJ, the LAPD, and countless law enforcement officials across the country worked to connect their cold cases with the confessions, Lauren's coverage of the investigations and obsession with Little's victims only escalated.

New York Times bestselling author and lead of the Starz docuseries Confronting a Serial Killer Jillian Lauren delivers the harrowing report of her unusual relationship with a psychopath. But this is more than a deep dive into the actions of Samuel Little. Lauren's riveting and emotional accounts reveal the women who were lost to cold files, giving Little's victims a chance to have their stories heard for the first time.

Anxious Face with sweat“I'm not sure how to feel about this one. It's not bad! I just think the style of writing is almost disorganized. But again, not in a way that is stylistic bad, just not for me. Otherwise, I was enthralled. And for that, I give it 3.5 stars.”

Expressionless Face“I don't know how to feel about this book. I didn't know much about Sam Little and the crimes he committed so reading about it was informative. I liked the focus on the victims. But at times it really felt like the author was trying to sound edgy. And while they had an author's note stating that the victims' last thoughts were based off imagination, mostly, some of the accounts unsettled me. I don't think it was necessary to fictionalize their thoughts. I found myself not wanting to read about the victims because of this approach.”
