Do You like book The Devil's Cinema: The Untold Story Behind Mark Twitchell's Kill Room (2012)?
I picked this book up yesterday around 11 am, and finished reading it around 12:30 pm, what a spell binder what a horrific story about the evil that can live amongst us. I have read many true live murder stories, however this is Steve Lillebuen's first book, which is pretty amazing.Steve's background is veteran Journalist and he has written for the Edmonton Journal, The National Post, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, the Sydney Morning Herald, and many other publications.This story deals with the "Dexter Killer" Mark Twitchell, and not wanting to give away the whole story, since this is a "must read" Steve takes us deep into the extra ordinary police investigation and the lives of everyone involved telling all about details which he researched, and many from contact he had with the killer. Twitchell's own account in "S.K. Confessions" found on his pc, this is a book which is really worthwhile read, written in a to my way of thinking "Ann Rule style", giving one personal insights of the characters in the story, based on facts which often take a great deal of time and patience to obtain.Being a mystery reader, I hate being told most of the story in a review, the only thing I can say, get the book, allow yourself a day or so, to sit back and become involved in the telling of this well pretty horrific, but very real story.I am keeping my eyes out for the next book from Steve Lillebuen.

Good book.Well-written, fairly unbiased, fairly non-sensational.I appreciate that most of the information was gathered from sources besides Twitchell himself, though, it was glaringly obvious when stories were coming from the horse's mouth- very narcissistic.Recommend to people who wish to hear the ins-and-outs of the Twitchell case- from the original occurrence, to how he was convicted and sentenced.A warning to some: near the middle of the book, pieces of Twitchell's own account of the murder is quoted in gory detail- not over the top, but certainly stomach-turning.

Without giving too much away, I have to say that Steve Lillebuen did a fantastic job researching and writing The Devil's Cinema. He was there at the beginning as a reporter, and then dedicated several years of his life putting this book together, with unique access to all the people involved in the story and investigation. He writes the story expertly, saving some surprises along the way so that the reader enjoys an almost novel-like experience as they read this incredible account.
