I have to admit that I was a little stunned by this book. Looking desperately for something worth reading for my Kindle, I came across this book late at night. I remember this case well, as I grew up about an hour away from where Susan Reinert lived, and I was in high school at the time her body was found. I kept up with the saga in the newspapers until I married and moved to Ohio in 1982. I was later thrilled to read Joseph Wambaugh's book on the murders and then eventually, watch the miniseries. Believing that to pretty much be the last credible word on the subject, I wrongly surmised originally that this book was nothing more than something written by a sore loser or a kook. We've all heard before how Jeffrey MacDonald and many other killers are *really, truly* innocent, after all. It seems like there's always someone who is willing to write a book that flies in the face of all of the known evidence.But being desperate for something to read, I tried "a sample" from Kindle. The book sucked me in like a vacuum hose. I quickly bought and downloaded the entire book. Having left Pennsylvania way back then, I didn't really have any idea how the case progressed, except that I knew that Bradfield and Smith were convicted of the murders. VanNort and Holz and Guida were portrayed as heroes by Wambaugh. Nothing could be further from the truth, especially in the case of Holz and Guida. Shame on both!I don't have any idea if Jay Smith murdered anyone or not, but it surely would not have been proven with the *legitimate* evidence that prosecution had, which included rubber lifters with quartz (sand) stuck on them from the autopsy, which the prosecution willfully and deliberately withheld from the defense during a death penalty trial.
