    1. Magnetized: Conversations With a Serial Killer by Carlos Busqued, trans. Samuel Rutter (Catapult; June 2)

      I like this book. I've reviewed it and give it 3/5.

      I have read many true-crime books about serial killers, most of which follow the same kind of pattern:

      • the serial killer is portrayed as a monster
      • every person around the serial killer says he/she was so quiet and calm
      • the people who caught the serial killer are portrayed as heroes
      • everything’s wrapped up nicely at the end

      I won’t spoil the book but I do say this: there is none of the above in this book.
