Hi Dr. Drib,
I just finished Ann Rule's book, which was the impetus for me to get Reichert's book.
That was the first Ann Rule book I'd read, and I was only marginally impressed (the writing didn't impress me at all, but the amount of time and effort it took to put that book together did). I have read a fair amount of true crime, though, and the caliber of writing across the genre tends to be just OK, so I don't want to single out Rule.
Honestly, if you're looking for insights into the killer himself, you may be better off with Reichert's book, since Rule's did focus almost exclusively on giving names and personalities to the prostitutes he murdered. In addition, it was a LONG book, and tended to get repetitive (a lot of those poor girls had very similar stories).
I'm planning on starting Reichert's book after I finish the book club book, so if you want, I'll post up a review when I'm done.
