Excellent read. As a non-fan of true crime etc novels I can honestly say I wasn't in a hurry to read it. In fact it sat on my shelf for 2 years before I got around to it. My bad Dave :( . And I'm sorry I left it that long. It was a great read in which the general idea of the crime was there but not the nitty gritty details. As someone employed in the policing emergency services section, I dislike being reminded of work in my off time, it's part of my coping strategies. But Dave did a fabulous job of making the book more about how I related to my work and life, a thought provoking, do I want to be this person or that person? I absolutely recommend the book.
