Butcher, Baker: The True Account of an Alaskan… di Walter Gilmour
Butcher, Baker is a true crime account of an Alaska serial killer. As a combined effort between a state trooper involved in the case and a writer, it is well-organized and written. The book follows the lives and actions of the victims and their killer, and most important the men and women of the police force who followed the case, finally identified and caught him.
Well another "dreaded" dnf read, but it started out good. I did get up to the halfway point of the book but I just began to slowly lose interest around the 30% mark. Then it just has been a slow go for the last few times I have been reading it.
However, there is a movie out called Frozen Ground with Nicholas Cage and John Cusack which I did watch last month. The movie was more interesting than the book and I was riveted in my comfy chair watching the movie. The book not so much. Could be the writing style of the author too as I haven't read anything by him but it was just too much drawn out and I never could continue with staying intrigued with the story. But as always with these books I give a dnf I will always say this: just because I didn't like it doesn't mean other readers won't. No rating will be given for books I don't finish.… (altro)

Interesting and disturbing true story of a serial killer in Alaska. Robert Hansen would get prostitutes to meet with him and then he would rape them and fly them to rural parts of Alaska where they would often try to escape and he would hunt them and kill them. No telling how many he has really killed. I'm glad he is behind bars!
Robert C. Hanson was a serial killer in Alaska. He kidnapped prostitutes and took them to remote areas in Alaska and hunted them down. Many of the victims attributed to him were never found.
