Hoodwink

I'm not really sure what to think about the content of this book other than it's an easy quick read. The real stories Robert Browne has locked away in his head are most likely far more intriguing than in this book. As the old timer who wrote this book might say, "I've been hoodwinked!" Well, I've been hoodwinked into thinking there was anything more about Robert Browne. I've been hoodwinked by thinking Mr. Michaud's experience could find out any more than anyone else because of his "experience". Last but not least I've been hoodwinked into buying the book and actually reading it. I'm not impressed by Mr. Michaud or the countless hours he wasted with Browne... I wish I could get my money back!

creepy dude!

This true-crime tale has it all -- a scary sexual serial killer, body parts left by the expressway, a sweet little girl kidnapped from her home and heroic detectives who have the patience and dogged stubbornness to burrow into an investigation that is going nowhere. And on top of this, the detectives are senior-citizen volunteers. Maybe because these guys had plenty of time on their hands or maybe because for some of us geezers, patience and wisdom really do come with age, they didn't give up until they got their man. Michaud (of Ted Bundy fame) and Price, a veteran journalist, are pros and the book is a well-written, quick read.
