Title: Not a good account of the details. . .
Review: Tomlinson losses track of his own thoughts very easily dismissing important details. His "suspect" illicts laughs and eye-rolling from most people close to the case and its history. With a focus almost entirely on the sensational, there is a persistence to enforce his reasoning as "sound" and "psychologically based." It is none of those things. It leads to a lot of bias in his assumptions YET it does demonstrate why this case was unsolved: Too many seeking a scandalous resolution to a rather unspectacular murder, were it not for the participants. There are far better treatments of the subject. Kunstler's Minister and the Choir Singer and another difficult to find book, THE GIRL ON LOVER'S LANE, in particular. Ramsland also offers an excellent overview online of the facts of the case with only a few inaccuracies. Her article appears usually appears readily through most search engines.Tomlinson's self-promotion is admirable, though.
