Good but short

I didn't check the length of the book, too short for one credit, but that's my fault.


way too short, but still interesting and horrifying throughout

A excellent introduction to the Night Stalker Case

With the growing rise in popularity of the true-crime genre, primarily thanks to Netflix’s increased production of such programmes, it’s no surprise that true crime novels are being published left, right and centre. However, it can often be hard to know where to begin especially when you’re unfamiliar with certain serial killers or crimes.

Well, James Richmond’s true crime novel, Night Stalker, is a short yet terrifying account and introduction to Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. Richmond is unafraid to recount the gore of Ramirez’s crimes without overwhelming the reader or listener with too much information. Instead, Richmond’s approach to the Night Stalker case takes the reader right into the mind of a serial killer on the brink of being caught before unravelling his life from the beginning.

Paired with Aaron Smith’s narration, who is the perfect voice to narrate the events, it becomes an easy listen. Although, not one you’d like to listen to alone or while walking home at night as the details are genuinely unnerving.

Instead, Richmond and Smith paired together to create an atmospheric account of Ramierez’s life and the events that lead him to become the Night Stalker in a factual light. Moreover, Smith can take the matter of fact tone from Richmond’s writing and creating a chilling narration that acts as the perfect introduction to anyone new to the Night Stalker case.

Highly recommend this to anyone considering the Netflix series but want to have some understanding of the case before they delve much further.
