Disappointed I first read about this case in Robert Keppel's "The Riverman", a book which primarily dealt with the Green River Killer and had extensive interviews with Ted Bundy. But about 1Disappointed LatherZap I first read about this case in Robert Keppel's "The Riverman", a book which primarily dealt with the Green River Killer and had extensive interviews with Ted Bundy. But about 14 pages of Riverman also focused on this case, and it fascinated me. So I ordered Wolf In Sheep's Clothing with high hopes. Unfortunately, among Wolf's 229 pages I don't think I learned a single important bit of info that I had not already seen in Keppel's book. This is probably not the author's fault, as the killer was never caught- but this was frustrating reading.

A Customer said a little dissapointing. I remember going to school with Mark Stebbins (the first victim of the child killer) in Ferndale, Michigan, and I also remember the hysteria, confusion, and panic that surrounded the case from the point of view of a child. Thus, I approached the book by McIntyre of the Oakland County child killer with great anticipation. However, I must state my dissapointment with the outcome. In agreement with another reviewer, the book would have benefited from some photographs (there must be some!). What is more, the dialogue sequences came across as contrived and amateurish. The first two murders, especially. A Customer said Chilling.. For those of us who lived through the HORRORS described in this book,it is a reminder of the terror that gripped our communities. The book captures what it was like for me to grow up during that time. It also captures the frustrations of the Police Officers who worked the case at the time-and still do over "Chilling." according to A Customer.
