"The novel, Bright Young Women written by Jessica Knoll, tells a fictionalized story of those who were affected by the infamous serial killer, Ted Bundy. Not wanting to contribute to the glorification of the horrific serial killer of the 20th century, throughout her work she only refers to him as The Defendant." - Bridget Keller, Bookseller
