Absolute Madness: A True Story of a Serial Killer, Race, and a City Divided by Catherine PeloneroMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
True crime author Catherine Pelonero presents the facts in what has become an all too typical occurrence in our society when individuals have fallen through the mental health wormhole of our nation to become serial killers or mass murderers. From page one I was intrigued by how the story unfolded from the first murders in Buffalo where the suspect used a .22 caliber gun and on into New York City where he stabbed several unarmed men to death. It was like a puzzle unfolding how the Police were able to piece together who the suspect might be even though he did not resemble his wanted posters in any way. While the killer targeted blacks, he felt that he was not a racist while many believed he was. If Joesph Christopher had received treatment when he asked for it would his victims still be alive? Why are we still having these problems of individuals in our society not receiving help? Get your copy today!
