panI read the true crime genre to try to understand why people do what they do. I like my true crime to focus on the victims, and the investigation and then the perpetrator, finally the trial. In 'A Hunger to Kill' , Mager wrote in a totally different way that I have never seen with True Crime. We know at once who the perpetrator is, and then what he has done comes out in her interviews with him. It didn't work for me. ⬇️

Mager wrote a lot about herself. It was more like a memoir with a true crime thrown in. I feel that the memoir parts of the book just seemed to bog it down. I feel the way she grew up was not a vital part of the book. She came across as a caring person, I just didn't like that part of the book.
Other readers seemed to enjoy the book, so if you enjoy the True Crime Genre, you may enjoy the book. That's the great thing about books, two people can read the exact same book and get something different from it.
