Title: Very disappointing--Trial transcript disguised as a "book"
Review: I have been an avid true crime reader for years, and never have I found a book any more disappointing than this one. It truly is almost as if the author retyped the trial transcripts word-for-word and renamed as a "book." I got no real insight into any of the characters, which is the most important part of what makes a true crime account so fascinating. There was also a lot of skipping around, with a less than smooth effort to present the sequence of events in a manner the reader can follow easily. Hopefully, this was a "first book" for this author, and future efforts will improve. Otherwise, I think I will stick with known authors in the genre that I can count on to deliver.
