| #2 Posted on 4.5.11 1025.11 | Instant Rating: 6.15 | I would recommend Devil in the White City by Erik Larsen.

It's non-fiction and based on historical facts, but it's fascinating and reads like a murder thriller. Hannibal Lecter is neat and all, but this killer actually existed.

THIS 100%. Sandford is probably the only fiction writer whose entire works I have read. His new one, Buried Prey is coming next week, I believe. The Prey series is awesome as is the spinoff series with a cop named Virgil Flowers. | Scottyflamingo

| #8 Posted on 5.5.11 0824.31 | Instant Rating: 0.97 | In True Blood, I think its called is a good book about a start off serial killer. Based on a true story about a family that is out of their minds. Ff the Zodiac book is half as good as the new movie it was based on is any good then I would recommend that as well.

| #9 Posted on 5.5.11 1403.45 | Instant Rating: 2.77 | | Since you guys have given me plenty of suggestions, I'll give you a good one. By Reason of Insanity by Shane Stevens. Well developed killer and good cat and mouse with the police. And a great ending. |
