Irvina M. (isunshine) reviewed Murder in a Small Town on 11/8/2008 + 43 more book reviews

This murder took place in an apartment that my parents lived first in and then above for about 8 years after I was married. This would explain why I have the book (my book is not up for trade) and why I read it cover to cover. But that is not why I am writing this review. I do not normally read true crime. Just not my cup of tea, so to speak. The story of this murder is very detailed, maybe because the community is so small and this was such a shock, or maybe because the author truly cared as he had met the victim once in passing. I found this to be a very readable book. I think it has enough information and is factual enough that it could be used to study what impact a murder has on a small town. So even though I found the subject matter to be brutal, I would recommend this book.
