This one just put me off, it wasn't really all that engaging, and it was a little boring. The Night Stalker is one creepy dude, and that's what kept me watching.
Overall, it was unremarkable, non-engaging, and a little bit of a waste of my time.

I love how each episode is completely different and has it's own theme. Told light-heartedly but very descriptive. Bringing true crime alive in this informative series.
Learn about cold cases, the worlds most cold blooded killers and dive deep into the minds of a psychopath.
Find yourself re-listening and researching real cases.

(Re)watching this in 2026, it's fun playing 'which future prediction' (swipe screens being the most obvious!) came true!

Maybe my 5 star rating is a little bias because I love true crime so much, but this book ticked all the boxes for me. Firstly, it was about such a bizarre and extraordinary crime, I was enthralled by every part of it, and secondly Carrère writes in such a simple and beautiful way that you forget youre reading fact.
What astounds me so much about this novel is its subject. Jean-Claude Romand lived 18 years of his life (thats only 2 years younger than I am right now) living a lie. How does a person get away with lying about everything for 18 years without getting caught? I cant go into much detail in this review, otherwise Im just going to spoil the whole thing, and once I get talking about it, Ill never stop. But I mean really, how his friends & family trusted this man so much as to believe everything he said amazes me. However, its also made me very aware that you dont question the people you trust, Im sure people could get away with so much before anyone noticed!
This book is incredible, shocking and mind-boggling. It reads like poetry but it packs a very real punch. I loved it! If youre a true crime fan, like myself, pick this one up quick!
