Title: Meandering tale of murder
Product review: Based on the true-life Servant Girl Annihilator murders in Austin, Texas in 1885 , this book weaves both fact anf fiction. Unfortunately, the warp of this weave is very lose and full of holes. The main chatacter is William Porter, later to become famous as O. Henry...and many of the incidents are true (and a few echo famous murder trial of our day). The problem with this book is it meanders all about, from person to person and is drawn out almost to the point of tossing the book away. It has some interesting historical moments, but isn't as good a book as this unsolved mystery deserves.
