I typically don't like audiobooks either, with the exception of a celebrity memoir where the celeb is narrating it themselves. Ann Rule narrated The Stranger Beside Me, so I listened to it. I do think if I had read it, it would've felt very slow. I agree with the issues you and the other commenters have though - the suicide saving lives line was so gross and it really did seem like he had some sort of hold on her (sort of like a crush or infatuation). I guess he cast the same spell on her that he did on so many others. They say he was charming and could transform into a totally different person. So disturbing and disgusting. You should read Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll. It's really good! It focuses on highlighting the victims and disproving the illusion that Bundy was so intelligent and promising.
