I've had this book for quite some time and I'm sad that I hadn't read it before now. I'm no stranger to Richard Chizmar; I'm a huge fan of Cemetery Dance and "work" for them as an ARC reader. Somehow this book just kept getting overlooked, but I'm very glad I finally read it. 
I'm a huge fan of true crime, and the scope of this fictional "true" crime story is pretty epic. The pictures included were a very nice touch that truly made me feel like this was something that could have happened. The only parts that dragged a bit involved the history of Edgewood, but I did enjoy the stories about the author's childhood. All in all, an excellent story that I highly recommend.
