Thankyou to NetGalley, WildBlue Press, Michael Morford and Michael Ferguson for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of The Case of the Zodiac Killer.
This book is podcast transcripts about a serial killer in Northern California who murdered his victims from the late 1960's to the early 1970's. To this date, no one has ever been held accountable for the crimes.
I thought this book was very well researched and delivered. It was certainly suspenseful and informative.
Definitely well worth a read for fans of the true crime genre.

This book is composed of the transcripts from the podcast Criminology by two true crime journalists. They extensively cover the decades old case of the California serial killer The Zodiac. It is a fascinating account of a killer who has evaded capture since 1967 - and explores the journalists, investigators, victims and suspects. Highly recommended.

I think most people have some awareness of the Zodiac case of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. This turned out to be a great book about the case based on a podcast of Criminology Podcast Season One by Mike Ferguson and Mike (Morf) Morford who host it. It’s been quite a while since I’ve read or watched anything about Zodiac but thinking I was fairly familiar with it, this book really impressed me with its thoroughness and the amount of information and pictures about the Zodiac case. There were things I didn’t remember hearing about before too. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about the Zodiac case or wants more information. It’s filled with lots of great resources and pictures and one of the hosts has a website about the Zodiac that he’s had for a long time, and is very knowledgeable on the subject. I’d recommend for any true crime fan. It sounds like it could be a very addictive topic so beware though. My thanks for the advance electronic copy that was provided by NetGalley, the authors Michael Ferguson & Michael Morford, and the publisher for my fair review.

Very interesting book. I have never read a book that was a podcast transcript. I have always been fascinated by this case. The pictures I want expecting those. Glad Netgalley let me get an advanced copy

Well, I was hoping for something a little different. This is a book based off of a podcast done of the Zodiac Killer. It reads like a transcript and not of a novel. It can be hard to keep up because both authors of the podcast are named Michael. It actually has pictures of the crime scenes and police information so that is helpful when you are looking to figure out the whodunnit. Overall I would say this is a good book that could use a little more work to be great.
I give this one 4 stars out of 5

Thank you netgalley as well as the authors/publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this novel in exchange for my honest review.
