J.T. HUNTER HAS DONE IT AGAIN

“He has written the story of a serial killer that could be the guy next door you would never suspect. This book truly grabs your attention from the first page. Well researched, in depth, and written in an easy to read style that keeps you wanting to read the next page — and the next.”

– Carolyn Shaffer

It Doesn’t Pull Punches Nor Sugarcoat

As I’ve stated above, the book details the fine, often tedious, details of this type investigation. It is well written. It explains the rationale for the procedures used without insulting the reader’s intelligence…at least in my opinion. It doesn’t pull punches nor sugarcoat. Readers should be forewarned, it does contain graphic details and crime scene photography. If you’re into crime drama, it’s a must read!

Quick, Compelling Read

I just finished In Cold Blood and decided to read this after seeing it a few months ago. The summary says it all – are the murders of these families merely parallel or done by the same men? Quick, compelling read – recommend if you’ve read IN COLD BLOOD.

This book was fantastic. Keyes was not like any other serial killer. He controlled the entire process.

“Keyes was not like any other serial killer. He made the investigators work for the details that they wanted. He seemed to be controlling the entire investigation. The police and FBI had to do it his way if they wanted any information.
The author, JT Hunter, is a very skilled author. It is obvious that he does complete research before writing books. I have read several books by Hunter, they are all complete and accurate.
The book was well written and kept you involved in the story and all of the known victims. I also enjoyed the update of the families at the end telling you where they are now. I hope to be able to see the movie when it comes out.

I have read several books by JT Hunter and enjoyed every one. I will be reading the rest since I enjoyed these so much.”

Another Great Read By JT Hunter!

In this book of the “Crimes Canada” Series, author JT HUNTER tells the story of another cold blooded, evil man! Like his other books, it’s done in Hunters easy to read and hard to put down style!
Cody Legebokoff was young, handsome, came from a good family and actually had a pretty decent childhood! It would be hard to imagine him capable of murder, but to find out he was actually a serial killer that in the end got him convicted of his horrendous crimes, just kind of catches you off guard!

Dive into the mind of a serial killer

“The author has done a wonderful job of taking the reader into the inner workings of a serial killer’s mind. We are made privy to his mental, emotional and physical abuse at the hands of those who were supposed to protect and nurture him. We are not asked to condone or even forgive the horrific acts committed but instead are asked to understand that the killer is a product of his environment and experiences. By educating ourselves to the how and why, we can better address the circumstances that create the mindset of a serial killer.”

– Emily Griffith

JT’s Writing Is Straight to the Facts

I absolutely love this book. The way he writes is great. I read a lot about serial killers and more times than not, there’s added fluff or things get drawn out. JT’s writing is straight to the details and facts of the case. I look forward to reading more of his work! I’m so happy he has reissued this one!

JT Hunter’s Latest Book Is His Best!

J.T. Hunter’s latest book is his best! The easy flowing prose with an interesting, but tragic, story encourages you to keep reading till the very end. Love the song and poem references preceding each part of the book. Also very interesting to learn the eventual outcomes for the individuals involved.
Will be eagerly awaiting J.T. Hunter’s next book!
