Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Childhood abuse from parents and bullies alike ostensibly taught California serial killer David Carpenter to vent his adult rage sexually. ``The details of the crimes--and the bumbling police work that apparently allowed more to occur--are carefully presented by Graysmith in a thorough and engrossing account of a violent sociopath,'' said PW.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, June 16, 1999
By LochNess2 (California, USA) - See all my reviews
The other "review" listed here is completely worthless.

The book is interesting, if not particularly well-written; contains lots of information about the "trailside killer" in the SF Bay Area. Contains lots of information about the background of the killer, and about the killings.

I'm not sure I'd recommend buying it, being out of print, but it's certainly worth checking out of the library.

4.0 out of 5 stars SFBA's other serial killer., May 11, 2000
No surpise that Graysmith's sophomore true crime book (his first being Zodiac) would be about the Trailside Killer. I remember his rampage well, having spent my entire life in the San Francisco Bay Area. Although not quite as well written, it still is a fascinating look at San Francisco's "other" serial killer.
