When the night comes falling...let it.

It was a labor intensive task to read this. I found no new information about the murders with few exceptions. it just repeated what was already in the public domain and I paid to reread it in this book. It was said to be a thriller rivaling Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood." It was not, that was an enormous oversell. It was sluggish and wordy, seemingly without purpose. Absent was the emotion that connects the writer to the subject, and if any subject demanded a connection from a writer to be understood this one did.The B&W pictures, one per chapter, were so small they seemed to be an afterthought. Nice dust jacket though.
