85 This is a mind-blowing read as the author lays out the childhood, abuse, decades of murder, and the mindset of this man. Born to a poor family in the Deep South, this black man with blue eyes; eyes that even his family referred to as “devil’s eyes,” started life with no roots. He was abandoned early and often; no home, no parents, no hope. As an adult, he racked up a rap sheet over 100 pages long with various crimes from 24 states. That’s half of the contiguous US. Yet he slipped through the fingers of law enforcement in one way or another each time, doing only minor sentences for a few small offenses...Fans of true crime thrillers and students of criminal minds alike will find this a fascinating and sometimes terrifying read. It is not for the faint of heart, as raw descriptions of Little’s heinous acts as well as crime scene photos give flavor to this work. While her research would earn a stellar 10 stars, I’m only allowed to give 5 for the book itself. I can easily recommend “Behold the Monster: Confronting America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer” by Jillian Lauren.
