This book tells the story of the Adam Walsh (whose father hosts America's Most Wanted) murder investigation in a way that is easy to follow and keep track of all the details. The active investigation spanned nearly 3 decades, and many different people were involved during that time.

I do think that Ottis Toole was responsible for Walsh's murder, but I don't think that the "smoking gun" that led to his posthumous conviction is a damning piece of evidence. I think the Walsh family wanted to be done with the case and saw what they wanted in the photo. I don't fault anyone for this; I would have wanted closure too.

That said, there are some very interesting alternate theories online, and I want to read more about them.
