Engrossing

Really like this true crime. The author makes you feel like you are part of the investigation and sharing the experience, with all involved. It allows you to see the world of selfish and evil people. While at the same time the good people who try to stop and punish ruthless, heartless beings. Would make a good movie, especially taking place in SUBURBIA!!

Reality, I should know

After reading Mom, Dad, Mike and Patti, It brought chills BACK into my life.I myself live in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, and I was raised 3 blocks away from the Columbo home.My eldest sister actually went to school, same grade, as the Columbo boy.So truth be told, B. Remsburg has a hands on perspective of Patti Columbo and the kind of girl she was, and still is. The story still haunts the Village whenever it resurfaces.

Great book,well worth searching for.

A very good book about the Columbo killings,in Chicago,1976.In depth coverage of the trial,that was not presented in LOVE'S BLOOD by Clark Howard(another great book,but more in patty columbo's words).Buy them both for a more complete view of this still shocking crime....30+ years later.in case you're interested,you can go to the Illinois Department of Corrections website,punch in her name,and see what patty columbo or frank deluca look like today.scary
