The title of this book refers to one of a string of thirteen serial murders done by the “Boston Strangler.” Junger chooses this particular murder for the title because he is from Belmont, and the man who eventually confessed to the boston stranglings did carpentry work on his house. There are pictures of this man with Junger’s mom and himself as a baby. I find that really creepy.
The book was well-written. I just think it sucks that they never figured out who the boston strangler was.
I was unaware that this was an unsolved mystery when I started reading the book.
