An insightful book on the career of a legendary Hollywood PI

I disagree with the review which states Don over uses his poetic license to show the reader he "saves the day", that's what private investigators do. People hire private investigators to succeed, and that's what Don does. Crutchfield captures the essence of the "old guard" gum shoe. The old guard uses congnition instead of ammunition. I purchased Don's book in Boca Raton, FL recently while I was conducting a case, and found it to be well written, certainly in the style of a very professional private investigator. The case histories and side commentary really hits home. I look forward to some day in which I can meet Don and tell him how much he's influenced my career. Patrick K.

I'd give it a B+ rating

I thought this book was pretty good. Don Crutchfield wrote as if he was talking to you. If you like gossip and juicy hearsay, this is the book for you. He has inside stories to the Beatles, Marlon Brando, Terry Moore, Jerry Lewis, Michael Jackson, and more. I've read other "tell all" books before, but what I thought Don brought, that other autthors couldn't, was a objective perspective to these celebrities' lives. As far as I know, these stories are true but I'm sure a little embellished. The one thing that got on my nerves was the way Don always came out as the hero, the one guy who was right, "If if wasn't for me...". That theme was all worn out by Chapter 3. Overall, just fun, light entertainment.
