This is a really interesting take on true crime. It isn't as if the crime is laid out with the causes first, then the murder, then the aftermath. It's sort of like a story about the town and the people in it, as it is about the murder. And it's almost surreal sometimes. There are some strange people that do some really strange things. I think that is what I liked best about this book. The crime itself isn't all that interesting, it's people like Chablis that make this worth reading. Strangeness and novelty, two things I very much appreciate in a book, and to find them in a nonfiction is just very unexpected and appreciated.
And the cover, come on, that's the reason I even picked the book up.
