Summary: Excellent effort by all involved
Comment: I'll admit it- I love true crime books as a genre. I've read a lot of them, from Ann Rule classics to the ones they keep on the end caps of supermarket checkout counters.
"Murder in Spokane" is by far among the best of its class. Having enjoyed Fuhrman's previous effort, "Murder in Greenwich", I read this book expecting little more than to be engaged for several hours. What I received instead was a unique insight into an investigation- although this book doesn't offer much in the way of getting to understand the killer's motivations or the backgrounds of his victims, Fuhrman brings the reader into the development of homicide detective work. You see the benefit of his years of experience from the outset through the struggles with the Spokane Police political machine, to the case's conclusion years later. As with his other books, Fuhrman demonstrates a subject matter expertise not really found elsewhere in true crime books. "Murder in Spokane" should be on the reading list of anyone who appreciates the struggles of law enforcement and wants insight to the process of investigation.
Rating: 5
Summary: Fascinating Read
Comment: This is another excellent book. Mark tells how an investigation of a serial killer SHOULD be conducted and the Spokane task force shows how one should NOT be conducted. As with the other two books written by Mark Fuhrman, this one is full of insights into police work.
As a regular listener to Mark's radio talk show, this book was especially interesting to me. I remember how many times Mark Fuhrman and Mike Fitzsimmons offered help to the task force. Several callers gave tips to the radio show which were turned over to the task force, yet many weeks later, had not been followed up on.
I recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: A Tortured Hero
Comment: Mark Furhman may be racist and dishonest, but that does not affect his great detective skills and his excellent writing style. He has a keen insight to catching killers, and he is very observant to his surroundings. This is a great book, written by a not-so-great man, but he still deserves the respect as a good investigator. If you like suspense and action, read this book.
