Rosie Result; American Predator

The third Rosie and Don Tillman book was pretty good, it made me laugh. Don and Rosie have moved back to Australia with their ten year old son Hudson, so Rosie can have the chance at her dream job. Hudson is a lot like Don and is having trouble fitting in at school. Don decides to make it his mission to help Hudson, with hilarious results.
I have to admit, I was disappointed with "American Predator". I wanted to like it, and it got better, but I almost didn't finish it. Israel Keyes was arrested and charged with murdering a young woman in Alaska. During the course of his interrogation, the police and FBI discovered he may have killed more. How many more is impossible to say. Keyes had very specific demands: he wanted to be executed as quickly as possible, and he wanted his name kept out of the press, mostly for his daughter's sake. They were able to keep his name out of the ongoing investigations into some of the murders they thought he might have committed, but they took too long to execute him: he committed suicide. He stopped talking to investigators, leaving a lot of questions unanswered. There isn't a lot of information about him: his parents had him and his siblings off the grid and lived a nomadic life. He was a very creepy guy, though.
