Deadly Lust by McCay Vernon and Marie Vernon
Deadly Lust , portraying the facts about serial killer William Lindsey, is an interesting read.
Chocked full of details about the killer and his victims, readers are able to get a clear picture of life on Crack Head Corner in St. Augustine, Florida.
However, at times, the authors tended to repeat the information. And often, I felt their purpose in writing this book was to elicit great sympathy for the victims and even their killer due to their addictions and, for the latter, his abusive childhood.
Irregardless of their actual intent, the book is indeed interesting.
Additionally, I feel the last chapter or two of the book could have been left out as those chapters are dedicated to brief synopsis of other serial killers’ crimes, the psychiatry of serial killing, and the low down on drug abuse.
After all, these subjects have been covered numerous times and are best left for those books which are what I refer to as “textbook style” books.
