The book is misleading in its classification, because "true crime" implies elements of suspense and some idea of the mind of the criminal being explored. I feel this book fits better under "courtroom procedure" or something, because it was not in the least "suspenseful" and did not fit the genre of being a "mystery" in any sense of the word. Not what I expected, not well written (even typos and grammatical errors...are there no more proofreaders?). All in all, I don't have any interest in re-reading, or keeping, this book.
