Synopsis

Will a serial killer soon walk the streets again?Don Miller was quiet and reserved. As a former youth pastor, he seemed a devout Christian. No one would have ever suspected that the recent graduate of the Michigan State University School of Criminal Justice was a serial killer.However, when Miller was arrested for the attempted murder of two teenagers in 1978, police quickly realized he was probably responsible for the disappearances of four women. Offered a still-controversial plea bargain, he led police to the bodies of the missing women.Now, after forty years in prison, Miller has served his time and is due to be released into an unsuspecting population. In Killing Women, author Rod Sadler examines the crimes, the “justice” meted out, and the impending freedom of a man nationally renowned psychiatrist Dr. Frank Ochberg described as “a member of a small, deadly, dangerous population: murderers who stalk, capture, torture, and kill; murderers who derive sexual and narcissistic gratification from their predation; murderers who maintain a ‘mask of sanity’ appearing normal and harmless.”

Goodreads review by Heather on February 06, 2022

Ugh. I’m so glad to be done with this book. It is essentially just a retelling by way of reading court transcripts. So much repeated information and zero insight. In addition, the audio version is TERRIBLE! The narrator is trying super hard to be dramatic but failed to do any research on the actual......more

Goodreads review by John on June 21, 2023

This book is comprehensive to the point of being tedious. For a criminal whose reign of terror lasted 3 years, this could have been an interesting read were the author to dig into the mind of this monster. instead, the book goes on for hours and hours about every single moment of his trials with lit......more
