Review: The Texas Tower Sniper: The Terrifying True Story of Charles Whitman

The Texas Tower Sniper: The Terrifying True Story of Charles Whitman The Texas Tower Sniper: The Terrifying True Story of Charles Whitman by Ryan Green
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As usual, Ryan takes into the killer's head and reveals the private thoughts of victims before they are killed. Of course, this is impossible yet I forgive Green it. Why? Well, he is so good at it. Also, he has an economy of delivery that is engaging and efficient. The 4 1/2 audiobook is about 129 pages in print. Honestly, many true crime works I read feel padded out as if the publisher demanded, "At leat 250 pages and less than 400!" Green gives us the essentials that are or could be related to Whitman's mass murder, tha the victims and heroes including why they were on scene at that time.
