Of course, there were several futile attempts of scouting bookstores in search of a replacement; but all were in vain. Being a true self-confessed, true-crime aficionado that I am, there are scores of true-crime stories that I came across with, but none is more moving than the story of Ted Bundy. I have read about Dianne Downs, Dr. Anthony Pignataro, Janis Miranda, Pat Taylor, and Debora Green among others. But it is Ted Bundy’s story that first riveted my interest about real crimes. It is his story that strengthened my realization that ours is not a safe place to live, because criminals can be anyone. I am not sure whether I can find a replacement for that lost book, but for the meantime I will engross myself with other horrific real tales of crimes. Currently, I am reading The World’s Greatest Scandals of the 20th Century by Nigel Blundell. Apparently, this is a collection of intriguing stories that splashed the front pages of popular news papers. These sordid stories still compel a number people to probe behind the scenes to find out that elusive truth. Moral Lesson: Never let anyone borrow a priceless book.

Actually, your idea list-and-title is inspiring. I so look forward to finishing a for-hire book and can jump on my own. Your list alone would stand as a story!
