Summary: excellent research and writing, a real page turner.
Comment: \The first and best true life crime book I ever read. Although other serial killers have trawled the depths of depravity, Randy Kraft has to be the ultimate sadistic murderer because he was obviously the most intelligent, therefore able to plan his crimes to his best advantage.
The author, Dennis McDougal, has written a story both fascinating and horrifying, more awful than any fictional tale. During the course of reading this masterpiece of factual reportage I found myself amazed at the strength of character it must have taken to research the activities of such a deviant personality and to have remained, I dearly trust, untouched.
Having read this horrifically entertaining book I have gone on to read about many more real life murderers, but none have had the same impact as this masterpiece.

Summary: Truth is more frightening than fiction.
Comment: No one could have invented Randy Kraft, as fiction it would be too unbelievable. It boggles the mind that he literally got away with murder for 13 years. The author does a fine job laying out the facts of the case giving us a balance between the victims, their families, Kraft, his family and friends, the police and other serial killers who were operating in southern California at the same time. The plotting was well done and flowed smoothly making it a quick read. The only thing missing for me, was some analysis of what made Randy Kraft do such horrific things to people. But life isn't always tied up into neat resolutions. For anyone interested in serial killers or true crime, this book is a must!

Summary: A Must Read!
Comment: Dennis McDougal delivers a true-crime page turner that I simply couldn't put down. Ignore the more negative reviews, the book is well written and superbly researched, painting a truly nightmarish picture of true evil. Randy Kraft is one of the worst serial killers in American history gaining his morbid title by sheer numbers alone with a body count of at least 65! It's a chilling read of continous torture, rape and murder that spans an entire decade. The most disturbing part of the book is what isn't written...why haven't we heard of Kraft before now?
Everyone has heard of Gacey, Dahmer, Son of Sam, etc. but until this book I'd never heard of Kraft...the murder and torture of young women is considered by society as more fiendish because overall women are more easily accepted as helpless victims, while young men especially strong, masculine Marines can take care of themselves. Obviously Kraft proves that anyone can fall victim when evil stalks our streets.
