Book Reviews of Killer Clown: John Wayne: The John Wayne Gacy Murders
Book Review: Finally a book about John Wayne Gacy!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been searching for a John Wayne Gacy book for a while and all appeared to be deleted but finally this one came along. Having read a few bits and bobs about him here and there and watching the film 'To Catch A Killer' I knew the basic facts and wanted to know more about the investigation and the killer himself. This book could have been the book they based the film on as it reads almost as the script does! It uses the disappearance of one particular boy above the others, the disappearance which seemed to kickstart the investigation and brought attention to JWG. The book is a fascinating account of this investigation and is written in such a way that you can actually feel the frustration of the police as they fight to arrest the man they know is the killer of at least one boy. The only aspect of the story that this book lacks is an indepth insight into JWG. This is most definately a book that is a must have in any true crime collection and an eye opener into the police work that goes on in these cases. Especially when they are dealing with a man as deviant as John Wayne Gacy. A good follow up read to this is 'The Last Victim' which features actual interviews with JWG in prison and makes a perfect partner for this book.
