Customer Reviews

A book completely compiled from other material

I like reading about true crime. But the author must do research and give me new information about the act and/or the person involved. This book reads like it was nothing more than compiled newspaper reports and, perhaps, a plagiarized book or two. Nothing new is reported; a high school student could lift chapters in their entirety for a book report and none would be the wiser.
