Bookworm Becky 1969

A gripping tale
Escape, survival, justice…

Bright Young Women was inspired by the real events surrounding a serial killer in WA, UT, CO, and FL in the late 1970s. The focus of the story is on the sorority house girls in FL, rather than on The Defendant, who remains unnamed in the story.

The FL sorority house victims include two deceased and two maimed. Pamela is the president of the sorority, who wants justice for her best friend’s death.

Tina, from Seattle, has been trying to solve the mystery of the disappearance of her roomie/friend Ruth four years ago. Tina travels to FL when she suspects the FL suspect may be the same person.

The gripping tale of hair-raising events and the distressed but courageous characters.

Lots of publicity about this one- that’s why I chose to read it!

Author captured the feel for the timeframe.

First time reader of this author.

Ruth’s chapter/story near the end is an eye-opener!

I liked the focus on the victims & survivors rather than sensationalizing the accused.
