Title: BURNED is a Winner!
Review: I read BURNED cover to cover in less than 48 hours, and I'm no speed reader. But Jana Cone has taken a true crime story and turned it into a riveting tale. Others can, and have, attest to the accuracy of her research. The pure volume of it is awesome; yet it rarely gets in the way.The Sheila Bryan murder/arson case had plenty of drama built in. Ms. Cone gets right to it in chapter one, where 82-year-old Freda Weeks dies in a burning car. Or does she? That's just one of many questions that may never be answered. Which of the two juries got it right? Or did they both err? The amateur sleuth will have a field day.The author has the unique ability to hold the readers' attention while sticking to the truth. Needless to say, I recommend it highly.Tom Elkins
