Title: The Family in shades of grey rather than black and white.
Product review: If you were never able to digest the ridiculous "Helter Skelter" motive, and you thought that Ed Saunders' "The Family" nosed closer to the truth than Buglosi's sanitised for your protection Helter Skelter, then this is the book with the answers you've been waiting for. Some of it is a bit farfetched, but thsi book gives you a picture of both the killers and the victims as people rather than symbols or icons. Mr. Gorightly investigates all aspects of the Manson case and the whole Family phenomenon without mythologising his subjects, or pulling any punches. The resulting book leaves you with a feeling that the whole affair was a terrible, sordid tragedy, not some kind of media event.
