## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fantastic book
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2022*

Fantastic book, easy to read, full of details which were never disclosed by media. I particularly enjoyed reading about Richard Ramirez’s family and their reactions when Richard got arrested.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not quite a masterpiece but well worth reading
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2008*

Richard Ramirez is currently (2008) awaiting execution on San Quentin's Death Row for murdering 13 people and leaving numerous others maimed in the mid-1980s. 'The Night Stalker' relates his crimes, his capture, childhood, trial, sentencing and imprisonment.The first sections of this book, which recount in graphic detail the crimes of Ramirez, the gathering of evidence at the crime scenes, the individuals involved in trying to identify and catch the 'Night Stalker', his unfortunate childhood and eventual dramatic capture, comprise some of the finest writing I have read in any true crime book. These opening sections alone make the book worth reading. Disappointingly, the remainder - recounting (in too much detail) his protracted and tortuous but rather dull trial and giving details of Ramirez's marriage while in prison, his 'groupies' and what has happened to his other family members and those of his victims etc. - is painfully long and drawn-out and, frankly, wearying. The ending also feels very tacked-on, including a rather unrevealing interview between Ramirez and the author (the author's fault for not asking the right questions in my opinion) and culminating in Carlo's rather meagre and rushed final pronouncements on Ramirez's crimes and the death penalty (which has yet to be carried out in Ramirez's case).I would give the first half of the book 5 stars and the second half only two stars. It is clear that Philip Carlo is a talented writer when it comes to setting a scene and describing events, but in this case at least he doesn't seem to know how to structure a book - in my opinion because he himself does not really know what he thinks about this case. He does not offer us much in the way of his own views on or feelings towards Ramirez himself, how his childhood may have affected him, serial killing as a phenomenon, the death penalty etc., except in a cursory fashion, almost as an excuse or contractual obligation right at the end of the book. On balance I would still say that this is among the best 15-20% of true crime books which are available because of its brilliantly graphic descriptions of the crimes themselves, the hunt for Ramirez, his capture and his difficult childhood. Ramirez is one of the most vicious and charismatic of serial killers and Carlo's account of his life, crimes, trial and imprisonment is still an excellent achievement, despite its author's lack of any clear personal opinions on the whole case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Disturbing stuff
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2022*

Grim and disturbing at times. Ramirez really was a twisted piece of work.  Ver good read for true crime lovers
