Initially, I was really excited and ready to read this "historically accurate" mystery, because I have always loved Buddy Holly's music and the period it came from. All the pre-publication reviews talked about how wonderfully Gorman evoked the period and had researched his subject.Well, it's difficult to buy into the research the author did, considering he got the date that Buddy Holly died, ie. "the day the music died" WRONG!!! Big time oops.Tried to get into the book but found it pretty lame for a mystery and worse as historical fiction.
