Yes, "misorganized," as there is a pattern to it, but not a smooth sequence. The author obviously did a lot of work here, but this is more like a collection of resources for a thesis than a true crime story, and the author is definitely more of a historian than a writer. Still, at the time it came out I was writing a screenplay on Legs Diamond and was amazed that I just stumbled on this in a public library (internet wasn't full swing back then).
