review 1: Wow, what an interesting story. I'm amazed by how this book came about in the first place, finding a folder of newspaper clippings on a shelf. I don't usually read true crime books, I don't think I've read any since my teenage years. But, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing is really good, it kept me interested and wanting to know the verdict. Personally I liked the little snippets at the end of the chapters of an email, conversation, etc that the author had with someone relevant to the case. I'd like to thank Diana for sharing this story with us, and well done for the very thorough research. I can't imagine how long was spent on the research. A sign of a good book is wanting to know more. I want to see photos of the people, find out more about them and the case. So ... moreI'll be spending a few hours with Google later having a look around. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in crime (my mum would love it) and to those who like an interesting, nail biting story.
review 2: I don't read true crime books usually but made an exception for this one written by a friend and I'm very glad that I did! While the truth about who murdered Florence Knoblock will never be known, there is a lot of information presented in this book that enables the reader to draw their own conclusions. Well written and thoroughly researched, the only drawback I found was that I would have liked the information about "party lines" to be presented earlier rather than halfway through the book as I had no idea that early telephone service was delivered this way (until I looked it up online). I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a well researched, well written, fast paced book even if you don't like true crime books this book will grab your attention! And may even make you late for work... twice! less
