First, I was amazed, in reading this book, that I only came across one editorial error, quite startling in true crime, don't you think? The story King write about leaves more questions than it answers. Though part of the subtitle is, "Businessman. Family Man. Savage Murderer," at no time does King give us an iota of insight into the killer's relationship with his child, his wife, his parents, or any siblings. In the instance of the killer's child, the child is put off so far into the distance that we don't even know if the child is male or female. Short shrift is also made of King's relationship with his wife. We get absolutely not an inkling about what that relationship might have been like. And what about his relationship with his parents? His extended family? Were there siblings? And "businessman?" I would think that would connote a white-collar worker, not a small parts repairman. More than the lack of depth into its chief characters, I was distrubed by the totally neutral and dispassionate tone King uses when describing such brutal crimes. I got more of a chill down my spine over King's distanced view than from the crimes themselves. I found the lack of information about the killer himself most off-putting. Once we learn that the killer refused to speak to authorities, we never hear from him...or much about him...again. I'd have to say that as far as excellent true crime goes, this is a really mediocre read.
Format:Taschenbuch
I just want to add that King doesn't try to give an insight into the killer's mind. Only some words of an psychologist are mentioned that seem to be very general if you read a lot about true crime.
The mere description of the facts is not enough.

A meticulously reasearched, brilliantly detailed, and above all riveting account of Dayton Leroy Rogers crimes, no elaborate rituals, no predetermined victims, a simple urge to kill. Gary C. King does an extraordinary job writing this spellbinding desent into the heart of human evil. It is more than epic nonfiction at its most brutally real - it is a compelling, unique, true crime masterpiece, not for the faint at heart.

cold-blooded and devoid of all emotion
Dayton truly believed no one would ever find his burial ground of the women he killed. I would of liked to have known more about his childhood and his Fathers childhood. Lesen Sie weiter...
