What can I say? Vincent Bugliosi isn't just an amazing attorney but an amazing author as well. I've already read And the Sea Will Tell and loved it. It was so detailed, so thorough, and yet written in a voice that kept it from being stultifying or dry. Because of that experience I found myself awful...

It was so quiet, one of the killers would later say, you could almost hear the sound of ice rattling in cocktail shakers in the homes way down the canyon.

This book also takes into account the theory and other alternate theories behind the murder. Since it i...

After a whole week in bed, trying in vain to maintain whatever dignity I had left after hip surgery (having to pee – every 2 to 3 hours - in one of those cold buckets hospitals have for patients unable to go to the bathroom is not the most uplifting experience, not is it trying to read with needles ...

I was familiar with some aspects of this case such as the Manson girls acting out at the trial, that the Beatles music was cited as a reason and prison being Manson's mother. Sharon Tate was the only murder victim I'd read about it before reading this book. Manon's cult status seems to have supersed...

Fascinating and scary though I read it many years ago and will probably not ever read it again.
