Summary: WHAT A CASE!!!
Comment: My goodness I am going to have to stop reading true crime. True crimes that keeps me so engrossed and inhibit me from getting other things done. I started this book and could not put it down for too long. Even when I was doing other stuff my thoughts were fixated on this novel.
Set in Texas, this novel haunts you until the very last page. When Roxanne Gailunas is found murdered in the bedroom of her Dallas, Richardson house, her husband Dr. Peter Gailunas, and her lover Larry Aylor are the prime suspects. However it is not as simple as it looks, as Detective McGowan goes far beyond the call of duty trying with all his nerve and sinew to make some sense of this obscure and complicated occurrence. There are so many characters involved in this case, it takes over five years before the absolute truth is brought to light. Drug addicts, sociopaths, greedy persons who will do anything including murder for a bit of money are all associated with this case.
With all it's exciting twists and turns, this should be a ral page turner for all of you out there who truly enjoy true crime.You will be kept on your toes with this well written Carton Stowers novel.

Summary: Wow!!!
Comment: This is the most engaging book that I have read this year. I picked it up with very low expectations, and couldn't put the book down. Stowers writing style is very engaging. The twists and turns are remarkable. A very nice piece of research and writing.

Summary: A Disgusting Tinker to Evers to Chance
Comment: In a macabre permutation of the children's game "Button, Button, Who's got the Button," a murder-for-hire contract is let out and then flung around like the ball in the old Chicago Cub field. Or a warped version of the Kevin Bacon game - anyone can find a hit man within 3 degrees of acquaintance? Very sad social commentary indeed. That's all I'm saying - I won't give away the entire scheme & scams. This is a well-paced true crime saga. I read the hard cover edition and am disappointed that it was rushed to print before the "rest of the story" was concluded. (The trials of some of the major players had not yet occurred.) Does the later paperback have an "update?"
