I read a lot of true crime, but this was absolutely the driest account of murder that I've ever read. Throughout the tedious accounts of each lawyer's actions, motions filed, and depositons taken, we learn very little. The case does not reflect any emotion; we don't care about Eric Thomas (husband of the deceased) or about his wife. The characters are never personalized. We know more about the mass of attorneys involved than we do about the people involved in the case. I would rather have read the court transcripts than the excrutiatingly detailed legwork involved in this case.Unless you're interested in reading about the legal research involved with building a case, Save yourself some time and just read the inside flap and find something more interesting to read.
