Negative Positive
Title: Excellent true crime reading.
Review: Off-and-on a huge true crime fan, I found this book to be great reading, particularly since the case is so much in the media and on my mind. Probably the most important facet of this book that makes it great reading is that unlike many true crime reads, the author is exceptionally literate. Though he occasionally gets bogged-down in obsessive detail, I found this to be one of the most compelling true crime books I've read. The difficulty in this book lies in its ending: Suddenly, sort of without warning, BOOM, it's the end of the book.....and the ending whimpers a little, rather than crashing. And, of course, since this case has yet to come to any resolution, the reader is left with that same sense of dissatisfaction that the investigators must feel. Still, it's a powerful book, and, I think, is without bias, which would be a difficult task for most authors to accomplish.
