This long awaited book was a big disappointment. This book goes to show writers that anyone can get a book published by paying a publishing house such as Authorhouse to print the book for you. Koch needed an editor bad. A reviewer of this book stated that Koch had spent time interviewing family members. Obviously he didn't read the many footnotes, which distracted from book, the author did not interview any family members. He used another researcher's interviews. This would have been a good book if the author had cut the book by about half and stuck to the actual events and crimes of the Kimes boys, which are fascinating and still deserve a book written about them since this one is almost unreadable. There was no sense in going on about Ray Terrell and members of the Barker Gang. The author admits he didn't think they were involved so why make them a large part of the book. In fact they were more part of the book than the Kimes brothers were.
