The Monster of Florence by Douglas PrestonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
An excellent book. Not only because it is one of the more clear and concise books (in Italian or English) on the Monster of Florence, but also because of the drama that ensued. For those of us who read Michele Giuttari's fever dream "il Mostro", this is a good vindication of the more ridiculous plot points Giuttari tried to justify in his telling.
Oddly enough, the author(s) get involved in the case, despite it being decades old. This would naturally give rise to biases, etc., but all of these are taken well into account in the book.
Highly recommended, both for those who have been familiar with Il mostro di Firenze their whole lives, as well as for those who have never heard of him.
