Summary: Best true crime book since Helter Skelter.
Comment: If it wasn't for one of Bugliosi's other books ("Helter Skelter") this would be the best true crime book I ever read. The first half of the book reads like fiction: murder mystery on the high seas. The second half of the book primarily concerns the criminal trial of Bugliosi's client: Jennifer Jenkins, who is either an innocent victim or the murderer of two people on Palmyra Island (along with her shady boyfriend Buck Walker). The courtroom drama is well told. I particularly enjoyed the author's account of how he confronted the judge in his chambers and his methods for preparing the case for trial. Outstanding book by one of the most pursuasive writers alive. Also read his book "Outrage" about the prosecutorial blunders in the Simpson trial.
Rating: 5
Summary: True crime stories do not get better than this.
Comment: This book is an absolutely superb true crime story. Bugliosi, as he did in "Helter Skelter", does not waste any words, despite his penchant for excruciating details. The book reads like a first rate novel, but it's true, and that's what makes it even better reading. The geographic setting of the Pacific Ocean and deserted islands, and the adventure of sailing, is icing on the cake
Rating: 5
Summary: Tremendous true-crime writing
Comment: Once upon a time Vincent Bugliosi was a star student at UCLA. After that he became a famous star district attorney then went on to private practice where he became a star defense lawyer. Then he became entrapped in that morrass which seems to call with a siren-like persuasion: politics. There was that awful book about JFK (the Warren Commission was right), then an angry defense of Clinton (Paula Jones, et al and 2000 where he wrote that Gore was robbed by the [Democratic] courts of Florida.
Thankfully, this was in an earlier incarnation (plain lawyer) where he takes an unthankful case that doesn't seem to have a prayer. A murder at sea and the person on board is not guilty? The difficulty was compounded by the unwillingness of the defendent to "tell all". Despite this, he worked 100 hours/wk (once he had convinced himself of her innocence) and eventually was vindicated.
Great story, great writing.
