Another Great KING Book
King brings a case featured on TV's 48 HOURS skillfully to the printed page. His meticulous research into each character must take hundreds of hours, but worth every minute. Although another reviewer didn't enjoy reading the true court transcript, I learned how a real one differs tremendously from how they are portrayed on TV.

Not for Suspense - Looking for Detail
As with most true crime books, the endings are mostly well publicized and already known. I read these books for a deeper understanding of the detail. The author does a great job of crawling through the important facts and getting beyond the summaries of short newspaper recants. I learned from this account.

Great Story!!
I'm not sure a couple of the other commenters read the same book I did. I've read a couple of King's books and I think I like this one the best. Its obvious (at least to a lay person like myself) that King put a lot of research into this story. Between the descriptions of international law to the near-verbatim deposition, there is a ton of info in this story I doubt you could get from the TV versions alone. I, personally, thought the deposition chapters were fantastic. Well written and easy to follow. Not to mention fascinating. Talk about getting into the mind of the murderer?? I'm not sure any writer could have expressed the workings of Perry March's mind in a better way than to present his actual words. I was also fascinated by the way the attorney for Janet March's parents drilled Perry during this deposition. It was a chess match!!! I liked how King linked all the keys to the case together. Even though its fairly linear, I can't imagine its easy putting all that info together in a manner that is easy for the reader to follow and understand. Of course, it doesn't hurt that its a sad, tragic, but still amazing story. I am always amazed at what human beings are capable of doing to each other, especially toward those they supposedly love. I doubt the author was looking for a Pulitzer when he wrote this book, but it is certainly entertaining. If you like the true crime genre, it is definitely worth a look.

You can't put this book down
The story was so very sad and was told in detail with so much suspense you could not put this book down. I do wonder the real reason the other poster bad rated it. Could be the murderer's new wife in Mexico who knows. As a long time true crime book reader this is one to get.
