Product Description

Ingram

To his neighbors, Jerry Brudo was a gentle man whose mild manner contrasted with his awesome physical strength. To his employers, Jerry was a fine worker. To his wife, he was a good husband. And to the Oregon police, Jerry Brudo was the most hideously twisted killer they had ever unmasked. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars engrossing, shocking, Jan 2 2003
This review is from: Lust Killer (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to agree with the reviewers who described LUST KILLER as one of Ann Rule's best. Rule's engrossing writing style accompanied with the sheer horror of this man's deeds makes for a guaranteed page-turner of a book. Some of the crimes Jerry Brudos committed were more disgusting than anything I've ever heard, so I'm surprised this is the first time I've ever heard his name.

As always, Rule treats the victims with the reverence they deserve. This book doesn't go into the same extreme detail about their lives as other of her novels do, but then this is a very short book. If you've never read Ann Rule before, I recommend starting here.

4.0 out of 5 stars true story of fetishist turned killer..., Sep 11 2003
By lazza (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lust Killer (Mass Market Paperback)
'Lust Killer' is one of Ann Rule's earlier true crime books. It doesn't quite reflect the extensive character study of some of her later (and brilliant) works but it does contain perhaps one of her most frightening characters, a man who has a [hang up on] women's garments ... and a true hatred of women. A deadly combination.

The female killing spree happened in Oregon some 30+ years ago but the story feels fresh. This reader was amazed how such horrible atrocities could occur, commited by both a husband and a father. It is unfortunate Ann Rule doesn't delve much into the killer's background, and indeed it seems the author didn't do her usual interviews of family members and related individuals. So 'Lust Killer' has a somewhat abridged feel to it .. and it is indeed one of Ann Rule's shorter books.

Bottom line: ghastly killer, horrible murders. Morbid yet fascinating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rule Rules, Jan 12 2004
By "sydandme" (GA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lust Killer (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a recent Ann Rule fan and cannot get enough of her true crime accounts. This is an older one...but still very powerful! In Lust Killer the events take place in the 1960's and 70's in Oregon, but the story is timeless and makes you feel as if it could happen in anywhere, USA.

Hated by his mother as a child (of course), Jerry Brudos grew to hate women, really hate women. Yet, even with that hatred he developed a strong liking for women's shoes and undergarments - but not his mother's. As with many serial killers, Jerry's behaviors started small and almost harmless (stealing undergarments and shoes) and quickly escalated to rape, murder and mutilation and not necessarily in that order.

If not caught, Jerry Brudos would have continued killing for years. What is most horrific about this story is the type of victims he chose and where he found them. They were typical women out in the public eye (a shopping mall, a parking garage) and he was able to attack them, and/or take them and kill them. Some he even took home where his wife was none the wiser.

Ann Rule does an amazing job of developing all the characters in this account. She covers Jerry's miserable childhood, Jerry's family including his wife and children, the victims short lives and the detectives involved in catching this sadistic killer. It is a quick read that will have you looking at every turn when you go in public. For that reason Ann Rule rules!
