This narcisstic ode to Piro is such a disappointment & waste of time! As a Louisianian we have been very interested in the Robert Durst story since the 48 Hours program featuring Susan Berman aired. I was very excited to find this book. It quickly faded as the few chapters are all about the author and her accomplishments (noteworthy but had I wanted to read a book about Jeanine Piro I would have purchased a book about Jeanine Piro but reading even more of the book I learn I did buy a book about Jeanine Piro). She will also spend much of your reading time discrediting anyone who has criticized her or her management of her office's investigation of the Kathie Durst cold case investigation.By the time we get to the chapter dealing with her trip to Galveston we have covered her friendships with prominent people, her name brand clothes, shoes, and hand bags. She will however minimize her own husband's incarceration reducing it to a three sentence mention (one sentence per chapter interspersed within the first seven chapters) whereas I lost count as to how many times she mentions her shoes & wardrobe choices. If you want to learn more about the Robert Durst case may I suggest reading a Vanity Fair article because when you take out all the material that pertains to Jeanine Piro that is all you are left with. The wwritten words in this book that actually cover the Robert Durst background and case are roughly equivalent to a magazine article. The bulk of the book is about Jeanine Piro who's favorite words must be "I" and "my" since hey are used so frequently in this book.
