I just finished this book and whoa how disturbing can one be? I remember seeing Keith Jesperson's daughter on Dr. Phil. She was on there for his reality series and was the woman who had a serial killer for a father. After seeing her on the show and then reading this book, I can't imagine the horror of knowing your own father could have committed such atrocities. Very disturbing, but like a train wreck, you can't keep your eyes off of it!
great story about a truck driver that murdered women while out on the road. He never got caught for quite a few years by his family and friends. the police finally caught up with him and he is in jail now. good read, pretty quick.

Keith Hunter Jesperson, known as the Happy Face Killer, was a long distant truck driver who was responsible for the death of eight women over a span of many years in the early 1990s. With "I" the reader gets into Jesperson's head and sees the world of killer.Olsen shows Keith Hunter Jesperson for what he really is . True crime reader MUST add this book to their list.
I thought it was an interesting book. I know the name sounds a little strange but it keeps you interested.
The "Happy Face Killer" Keith Jesperson's 1st person account of his killings. The book has his 1st person account, his dad, personal letters, etc. It's chilling to read the crimes he committed & his life growing up & throughout his spree & well into prison.
I don't even know what to say, but, this book scared me more than others because it was written as first person. He just killed so easily and for fun and to release his stress. It shows just how easily a normal seeming person can be a psycopath. That's the creepiest part. How being in the wrong place at the wrong time, talking to the wrong person can be your last.
Ok Book
I couldn't stop reading this book - excellent story and many different emotions to it.
This was a very disturbed, sick individual that deserved to get justice.
Very interesting read.
