'Boston Strangler' is the story of an inconclusive murder case, and of sexism on the job. Read Stephanie Zacharek's (szacharek) review:
n the early 1960s, a serial killer dubbed the Boston Strangler had that city and its environs wrapped in a knot of fear. Thirteen women had been raped and murdered in the area over a period of several years, and the. The populace breathed easier when a convicted rapist named Albert DeSalvo confessed to the crimes. But Loretta McLaughlin, a reporter at a local newspaper, had doubts about whether DeSalvo had really committed all the murders.
The city wanted the killer behind bars; it was inconvenient to face the possibility that the murders might have been committed by more than one man. Early in the killer’s—or killers’—reign of terror, McLaughlin, stuck on the paper’s lifestyle desk and suspecting that her colleagues aren’t digging as deeply as they should be, persuades her reluctant boss to give her a crack at the story.
