I read this online with about 20 people and it was an excellent discussion. Ann Rule worked overnight at a 24 hour crisis center alongside Ted Bundy. They discussed many things and Ann told him about the serial killer articles she was writing about never thinking that she was talking face to face with the killer sitting right next to her. She could not publish the articles until the killer was caught. In the end, the articles became this book, The Stranger Beside Me. The book tells a detailed account about how Bundy committed the murders by fooling all of his victims. He even fooled Ann Rule through most of the book. It was very hard for her to believe that the guy who was saving suicide victims with her was a serial killer. I found this book most interesting as you begin to wonder what has changed such a personable person into a serial killer. I still don't really know that answer and I'm sure there are many factors to consider the reason someone would do what Ted Bundy did. I would highly recommend this book to those who like true crime. Definitely shows how a true story can be stranger than fiction.
