Helpful Score: 6

This is the story of two writers who went on a quest to find the "Monster of Florence", a serial killer that specialized in young couples in Florence, Italy in the 1980's. It is a fascinating read, but beware, it is quite graphic in the horrible details of the crimes. This book haunted me for days. It's hard to wrap your head around the fact that the person who committed all of these crimes is still out there. I read the book very quickly (it is hard to put down), and then did more research online about the cases, just because I couldn't get it out of my head. Besides describing a gripping murder case, the book also gives you a fascinating glimpse into the dysfunctional Italian judiciary system. Highly recommended!
