Summary: Good Guy, Bad Guy
Comment: An Hour To Kill is powerful reading! I was particularly moved by the arrest, interrogation, and conviction of Ken Register.
As a degree holder in criminology, I know all about police techniques to get a confession. Good Guy, Bad Guy is one of the oldest in the book.
If Ken Register had demanded to see an attorney early on, would the police have refused like when he made other requests?
If so, his whole confession could have been thrown out.
I feel very uneasy with the deceptive, high pressure, police interrogation but I wouldn't want to be in their shoes either.
If Ken Register didn't get caught police would be excoriated for allowing a murderer to go unpunished. Police were caught between a rock and a hard place.

Summary: Not much of a true crime fan, but I liked this one.
Comment: Let me say up front that I'm not much of a true crime fan. I find most true crime boring, repetitive, and poorly written. My
wife first read this book while we were vacationing at Disney World then urged me to read it. "I'll give it twenty pages and that's all," I agreed. Four hours later, I was still reading it.
The book has great structure and organization, is written well,
and presents a horrible murder that cuts as deep as a razor. More
than anything, the authors were fair to both the Registers and the Todds, and presented an unbiased account of the murder and
investigation. The book affected me in such a way that I sat down and shared the story with both of my teenage daughters. I want them to know Ken Register is the poster boy for small town
next door neighbor's everywhere. Five stars for An Hour To Kill
people like Bill Knowles and Ralph Wilson who had the guts to push forward until this young man was finally convicted and sent to prison.

Summary: I waited two years for this book
Comment: I saw this book in the library about two years ago and asked my mom if I could read it. Because I was 15 then, she told me I would have to wait until I was a senior in high school. Well, it was worth the wait. AHTK was so good that my friends and I passed the book around. One of my friends even gave a book report in class on it. What is so scarey about the book is that we know several boys in our class that fit Register's profile.
Talking about freaking someone out!!! For anyone who likes suspense and nonfiction, this is a good book. My only criticism of the book is that there were no pictures of the authors. It helps me to have some idea of what the authors look like. Otherwise, me and my friends give this book very high marks.
