So I didn’t realize when I requested the book from Netgalley that I actually tried to read another book by the author. It was also true crime but I DNFd because he sensationalized the case and it was so inappropriately written. I almost decided to just not even bother with this because I was worried it would be the same and so far it wasn’t…BUT 

 I looked up other reviews and the facts of the case, since I had bad luck with another Sherman book and sure enough he weaves fiction into true crime. He states as if it’s fact that Lana Turner killed Stompanato when in fact it was Cheryl, her daughter! I get having theories that Lana did it and Cheryl lied to protect her but then present it as such? And Cheryl has written her own book, not the first time of which, she admits to the murder and her mother having zero part in it.

ONCE AGAIN THIS AUTHOR IS A DISGRACE TO TRUE CRIME. He is writing as if what he says as truth with zero evidence to back it up.
Get this man away from true crime because he clearly doesn’t know that if he wanted sensationalized conspiracy theories he could write a crime thriller book instead 🙃 This is an author that ends up just discrediting everything he writes-how can I rely on your research and “knowledge” if you purposely fictionalize a story and pass it off as non fiction?!

I don’t have beef with many authors but this man is number 1 on my slander list 🤡 “RICKY when I catch you Ricky..Ricky when I catch you”
