review 1: If you can sort through the ill-organized history in this book, the actual story is very interesting. The writer seemed to not know how to go about telling this story and giving context for it at the same time, so instead just leaps in and out of the main point, not always bringing the reader along on exactly what he's talking about at the moment. Still, if this subject interests you, there is gold to be mined amongst the confusion.
review 2: This book was a departure from my regular reading habits. I chose it because it was a free selection in Audible and nothing in the list appealed to me more. I have not read true crime books before, so I had no idea what to expect.The main thing I did not expect was to hear a story that had not finished. The case is ongoing... more and so the reader is in the chair of the jury, looking at the evidence presented and wondering how he should swing his vote. It's an interesting dilemma.Alexander is quite critical of the police department, and maybe the snapshot he gives of LAPD is accurate, but I have to say, If I was overseeing a case that eluded solution for so long, I would have to expect problems along the way. There were, by necessity, so many people involved that mistakes were inevitable. No system is perfect.That said, having read this book, I will be keeping my eyes open for the continuation of this case. One has got to hope that there is more to it than this writer has revealed, something more decisive. But that's not what life is like, and it's not how the system works.If Franklin did it though, he is one messed up individual. less
