Title: Lazy man's way to write a crime book
Review: I like some trial coverage in my true crime books, but Rosencranz overdid it. All she did was use the trial transcripts basically verbatim. She did little research as far as I can tell. A little bit of info from the jurors and cops and that is it. I got tired of the constant repetition of what happened as she interviews every single cop, etc. who came to the crime scene. I had absolutely no feeling for who May and Dirk Greineder were as real people. No emotional connection, no nothing. If I had wanted to know about this crime from this angle I would have strictly read the newspapers. A total waste of paper.
Is the review positive or negative?
