Publisher's summary

Ted Bundy is the most darkly fascinating and widely analyzed serial killer of the past century, possibly ever. No sex criminal, from Jack the Ripper to Zodiac to the Green River Killer, inhabits the popular mind as does Bundy. Now, the two men who know Bundy’s criminal nature best - Dr. Robert Keppel and author Stephen Michaud - have teamed to write the definitive narrative of Bundy’s bloody career, as well as the inside story of how Keppel tracked the elusive killer for 15 years, from his first days as a rookie Seattle homicide investigator to a series of tense encounters within the Florida State Prison where Bundy, in a doomed attempt at forestalling his execution, finally gave up some of his Terrible Secrets.

The story of Keppel’s details his long struggle to identify the handsome, articulate onetime law student and confront him with his crimes and draws from Keppel’s extensive mail correspondence with Bundy. The result is a riveting, close-up portrait of a “diabolical genius”, as a federal judge described Bundy, stripped of myths and misinformation and revealed - in his own words - for the archly sly, murder-obsessed predator he became.

Disappointed

Disappointed title was misleading. Nothing new and some contradictory statements to what is known. Hayward testified no drugs found in or around the car. Saying Bundy didn't elaborate or get back with him on what he did to the Hawkins girl wasn't true according to Rules book and some old interviews Keppel did. I think he should have just said he didn't want to talk not that Bundy didn't talk about it himself.

Fantastic!

Great audiobook… I’ve listened to almost every Bundy audiobook… While some are good, Keppel’s is amazing! Having had to deal with Bundy and The Green River killer in ones tenure is beyond comprehension… Warning, this book is gruesome at times (to me anyway)… Keppel’s book sheds light on Bundy after his final arrest… and onto what he was willing to admit to regarding the murders… I highly recommend this audiobook

Interesante y nacabro

Un psicópata narcisista y asesino en sere ayuda al FI a capturar a otro asesino en serie. Ero no de buena gente. Obvio! Sino por los detalles y fotos y para ser considerado “experto” en ese campo. Además da algunos escalofriantes detalles sobre sus propios crímenes pero buscando una postergación a su ejecución, calló mucha información como la única ubicación de los cuerpos de algunas víctimas y el número exacto de las mismas llevándose el secreto a su timba.

Boring and Yikes

Narrator was so deadpan and the book was just filled with inane details about the authors life and the bureaucracy of investigation. Plus it ended with the line “if the green river killer was a shoplifter then Ted Bundy was a jewel thief” which is just about the grossest comparison you can make!

No new information and an awful narration :(

books, because I literally could not stay awake

while this book was playing!!!

Audio Cuts Out Too Much

Do NOT waste your money. the entire book has multiple audio drops which leaves out crucial details necessary to understand what is being said. I want my money back.
