Summary: Hard to put down...
Comment: This is the first book about the Ramsey case I have bought and probably will ever buy. All the previous ones seemed to be lacking somehow. And given what is in the public domain about this case, I would never buy the Ramseys' book.
As of today, I'm only seventy pages into the text. Yet like the title of my review says, I'm having a hard time putting it down. The authors have made a clear presentation of the facts and contrary to the claims of the Ramsey family attorney, their account does not read like a tabloid. Far from it, it is a somberly told tale. I find its credibility very high because Steven Thomas freely admits how badly the Boulder Police Department damaged the investigation by allowing the crime scene to be corrupted.
That's one theme of the book. The other is that the Boulder District Attorney's Office seems to have a problem aggressively pursuing people who have committed crimes of violence and taking them to trial. Influenced perhaps by the "new age" attitudes present in Boulder, the DAs appear far more likely to accept plea bargains.
I have no doubt that some people are going to accuse Mr. Thomas for leaking sensitive information about the case. Senior officials will go on record about how "shocked" they are about his writing this book. They will argue that he has damaged the chances of ever bringing the murderer to trial. Yet that presupposes that was ever going to happen. Sad to say, I think Jonbenet's killer will never be brought to book. That person has gotten away with it.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Comment: Steve Thomas' book puts into words what many Coloradans have been saying for quite some time: Boulder is, quite frankly, a town that does not know how to handle today's world. The people there would just rather keep from having a scandal than solving the murder of an innocent child. While many bleeding hearts whine that the Ramseys have been treated incredibly unfairly, Thomas opens our eyes to just who was being treated unfairly through this entire legal circus. JonBenet Ramsey was denied justice because the DA's office was too busy jumping through hoops for the Ramseys and their lawyers, and systematically leaking information against anyone who disagreed with the prized intruder theory. This book made me sick, but not because of the author. Because the murder of a young girl will probably never be officially solved, even when the chief investigators know exactly who killed her. I commend Steve Thomas for having the courage to put down his badge and let America know the REAL story.

Summary: Thomas knows what he's talking about!
Comment: This book was excellent! The former detective knows exactly what he is talking about and is not afraid to say that Patsy Ramsey murdered her precious daughter, JonBenet. He knows what evidence is present and why it points to the Ramseys. He also points out with exceptional evidence, including the infamous ransom note, that no intruder snuck into the Boulder mansion to murder little JonBenet Ramsey.I have followed the Ramsey case very closely and have read all but three books on the case. This book is DEFINATELY the best!!!
