As a True Crime enthusiast, and having been in a long term relationship with a pathological narcissist (a personality disorder sharing many traits with psychopathy), this book gripped me from start to finish.
The narration is perfect. The true events are told in a story format like Capote’s “In Cold Blood.” The in-depth perspectives from not only the rape victims, but the people unfortunate enough to have had close relationships with Coe, are engaging, heartbreaking, and infuriating.
I often finish these books either disappointed because I didn’t learn anything I hadn’t already read elsewhere, or with a burning desire for more information. I finished this book feeling completely satisfied.
