Summer 2009 Reading Spectacular #3

I just finished reading Bike Path Rapist by my friend Jeff Schober. It's a true crime book about the serial rapist and killer that was active for nearly 30 years in the Buffalo area.

Reading a friend's book can be a dangerous thing. What if it's bad? Yikes!

I didn't have to worry about that, though. The book is surprisingly readable and Jeff avoided sensationalizing the crimes themselves. He plays with chronology in the telling, too, maintaining an overall arc that takes the Task Force's work from start to finish while looping timelines, weaving together the threads of years of events and activities into the fabric of the story. Well done, Jeff!
