By Flipmode_187@hotmail.com (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Killers Among Us Book II: Sex Madness and Mass Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is ok.It is very slow at first and it skips from killer to killer mostly dealing with killers that used poision.But then half way in the book it will talk about one killer for 5 pages and then skip to the next one.I would reccomend this book only if you care about people who use poison as their means of disposal.If you liked the first one then you will most likley want this one.

By John Doe (Somewhere in New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Killers Among Us Book II: Sex Madness and Mass Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
i think that book was not bad at all...its very short on the serial killers...i wish it was more than just an handful of killers; also, there was no mention of serial killers from 1950's to the present...still, a good insight of serial killers that i have not heard of
