What's the best book to read about Ted Bundy?

First, go ahead and get all the jokes out. Omg you're a psycho, what's wrong with you, blah blah blah. I just think the subject is interesting and would like to know more.
My main question for those who have done any reading, is what is the best book? From my very casual research, it appears the the most notable or "best" is 'The Stranger Beside Me' by Ann Rule, but the problem is that doesn't interest me at all. It appears that's told from her personal perspective of knowing him, which I dont' care about. I want more a straight up biography that is more fact based in following his life and crimes.
Any suggestions?

I'm obsessed with serial killers so don't feel bad about it. I find them to be disgusting people of course, but at the same time they are fascinating to learn about. You want to know some of the reasons for their behavior, or how they think.
I watch documentaries on serial killers all the time.
I'm curious about some suggestions as well.

The one I read about 15 years ago was "The Deliberate Stranger", which covered his crimes in various locales, his escape from the authorities in Colorado, the final crime spree in Florida, etc.
That's the one they made the miniseries about with Mark Harmon as Bundy.

I used to read nothing but true crime books! Have expanded my horizons. I like Ann Rule's version. In fact, I like all of her true crime books.

The Iceman Interviews. They were HBO specials

Yeah I've seen quite a few. I haven't checked out the Aileen one yet.
To the OP, just found this on Amazon.

I've always heard that The Stranger Beside Me is a great book about Ted Bundy.

Yeah I saw that. Is the entire book just interviews though? Again, not to be too picky, but that doesn't quite appeal to me as much. I'm looking for something in the mold of In Cold Blood, something that just tells the story. While browsing amazon, I also found this one
Killer Next Door which seems more along those lines.

What about this one? You might not like it because it's structured as a fictional conversation although it's all based on facts and interviews.

Eeehhhhh I don't want anything fictional, and I'm not really concerned with interviews. Like I said I basically just want a straight up biography. Just the facts. What he did, where he went, etc.
