Reviews
This will give you valuable insight about how the killer hid in plain sight for years and how the family dealt with the ensuing aftermath. The author is likable and I enjoyed this book. It's a perfect book for someone to wants to learn more about the killer they've seen all over the news, but perhaps doesn't have the stomach to do a case-by-case deep dive. It's a quick, easy read that anybody interested in the case would enjoy. - Mercedes M. Yardley, author of the Stoker award-winning novel Little Red Dead "Initially the title grabbed my attention and to find it was true crime, I couldn't wait to read it. I am by no means a fast reader, but to read a book in little over a day as I did with Killers Keep Secrets is saying something." -NetGalley Review "Another book about the Golden State Killer, which meant that the only way to impress me would be to learn some things I didn't already know. And let me tell you, this book did just this. It was so interesting to see what he was doing with his time after the murders stopped and also a very personal account of someone who knew him probably the best (besides his wife). I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about Golden State Killer/East Area Rapist." - NetGalley Review "...gives insight to the popular notion that madmen can live among us." - NetGalley Review "The quest to try to understand what makes a serial killer and how they hide in plain sight is one of the most intriguing mysteries. This book was a big surprise to me...[it] shows how deceptive the perception we have of a killer may be." - NetGalley Review "Killers Keep Secrets: The Golden State Killer's Other Life, is absolutely gripping while being horrific and terrifying because of the crimes committed. It makes you question just how well do you really know the people you are close to and let into your life?" - NetGalley Review "Quite interesting... overall a great read." - NetGalley Review "Astonishing account of decades of life lived right next to Joseph DeAngelo, the Golden State Killer. The fact that the author is one of the few who had a ringside seat, makes this read fascinating." -NetGalley Review
Synopsis
In April 2018, the long-unsolved Golden State Killer case burst wide open with the shocking arrest of 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo. But no one was more stunned than the people closest to him: his family. In this spellbinding firsthand account, Jim Huddle, shares the true story of the man charged with brutal, brazen rapes and murders., In April 2018, the long-unsolved Golden State Killer case burst wide open with the shocking arrest of 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo, a former police officer. But no one was more stunned than the people closest to him: his family. In this spellbinding firsthand account, Jim Huddle, DeAngelo's brother-in-law, shares the true story of the man charged with brutal, brazen rapes and murders. From 1974 to 1986, the Golden State Killer (also known as the East Area Rapist, Visalia Ransacker, and Original Night Stalker) terrorized Californians with as many as 50 rapes, 13 murders, and countless other crimes from stalking to burglary. The perpetrator slipped through law enforcement's fingers again and again, leaving cases cold, victims without justice, and the public in fear. All the while, the Golden State Killer was hiding in plain sight. DeAngelo wove a web of deception, hiding his secret life for decades and fooling even those closest to him into thinking he was a normal person. But in this reflective tale, Jim shares the strange behavior that stands out, giving clues to DeAngelo's dark secrets. To Jim, DeAngelo was his sister's husband, a man he trusted with his children, a man he thought he knew for 48 years. Walk through Jim's memories of DeAngelo, from their shared hobbies to red flags in DeAngelo's behavior that stand out sharply in hindsight. Jim also dispels myths about serial killers, and shares the similarities between DeAngelo and other infamous serial murderers. Find out what it was like to be charmed by a serial killer who escaped justice for over thirty years.

    • Better than expected

      Some have said this book was complete rehash of other info. Some of it was, but there were many pieces of info I didn’t know. For instance officer Deangelo giving tickets to persons in fancy cars and not to those in run-down cars. Also that Deangelo was constantly doing auto repair and that he liked Toyota Corolla’s. I basically skipped the last half of the book because it went into other serial killers.
