4.0 out of 5 stars Eye'd Buy This Book, January 20, 2000

By	Ann Sherry (Michigan) - See all my reviews

Who has been murdering prosititutes in Dallas and removing their eyes with surgical precision? Where are the eyes? This fast reading paperback cuts through hard-to-understand scientific and legal jargon and tells a story that keeps you turning those pages. Despite its title, the book is not gory but an interesting diversion into the dark side of a serial killer who collects unusual souvenirs of his conquests.

4.0 out of 5 stars First he killed them, then he cut them..., June 7, 2002

By	JEM (Texas) - See all my reviews

The Eyeball Killer gives the reader a glimpse of a dark, scary world that might otherwise be unknown. It tells the tale of serial killer Charles Albright, his victims, his evil fetish, and the street cop, John Matthews, who brought it to an end. Another reviewer (an officer who sounded envious), alluded to the fact that the story would have been better had she written it. That is not possible. This chilling story tells the tale of evil and how it disguises itself. The neighbor down the street, the guy on the baseball team, the high school teacher - may not be who they seem. This book is hard to put down, and is by no means bedtime reading!

said, "That's him", when the SWAT team brought him to me to identify. Oh, Lord, I still get chills thinking about that night. I wish I could have written this book, you would have had first-hand and colorful knowledge from MY perspective. But in the meantime, buy the book, turn to the photos, and you will see me there with Matthews, my partner.
