Title: Did I read the same book as the other reviewers?
Review: For a time, I lived in Wisconsin & now live in a heavily woodedarea like the scenes in this book. I am an avid reader of the Truecrime genre. Yes, John Ray was a "nut case" and his family& shrinks should have acted on his problems years before. But Ihad a hard time slogging through this book as every mundane detail ofpolice procedure is detailingly catalogued - even though it is notrelevant to the story. (I could understand it if there was an errorin procedure that caused ramifications in the criminal trial - buthere it is boringly gratuitous.) The book is the opposite of an"I couldn't put it down" good read - but the policeproceedural texts are good for curing insomnia.
