The main title of this book may be The Grim Sleeper but it’s really a well-researched, empathetic insight into the many women who lost their lives to this terrible man. These women were marginalised and slipped through the cracks of the society, which made it easier for Lonnie Franklin to commit his crimes undetected. The author gives those women, and their families, their stories back. It makes this book a worthwhile and compelling read.
