This book, The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston is a true story of a serial killer that hunted the hills of Florence, Italy for over 30 years, and was never caught. The author, Douglas Preston is a journalist and decided to move his family to Florence for fun. He became so involved in this story, that he and his friend, Mario Spezi (who was a journalist in Florence who had been covering the story from the beginning) became suspects for the murders.

This book has a very interesting story line. It goes through every part of the investigation. It really makes me grateful for our justice system here in the United States. It is a huge eye opener to for me to see how corrupt some justice systems can be. Although this book isn't the easiest read, I like the fact that it is a true story. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
