Another excellent Washington sniper book

Having already read 3 weeks in october by Charles Moose, I was very pleased to find another book on the Washington Snipers, this one by Angie Cannon. It seemed to be a different book altogether, but equally as good. It went into much more detail about the lives of the snipers, trying to comprehend what would lead someone to commit such a massacre. It was brave enough to question the local police and federal task force`s efforts to catch the snipers during the three weeks of terror, but also giving praise to the investigation when deserved. Read this book if you want to know much more information that was not always covered in 3 weeks in october. An excellent read - straight to the point - could`nt put it down.

i lived thru this event personally

I haven't read this book yet, but just wanted to say that i'm positive that it will be of great interest to me. I also wanted to say that i agree with the person that said that the guy that was complaining about the book being everything that cnn told us: that guy has no right to say that this story is bad to make a book of. don't critisize until u live through the events yourself like i did. I was in D.C. for NYLC for a week right in the middle of all the happenings. I stayed less than a mile from one of the sites where the snipers struck. after living through it personally, this book is appropriate to write, and it is interesting.

Good solid account

I thought this book was an interesting read about the sniper manhunt. I liked the little personal vignettes as they really gave life (not just names, ages and dates) to the victims. It was a nice personal touch.The book gave a good, thorough accounting of the massive investigation, the effect of the terror on the people in Washington, and the snipers themselves.
