Summary: As Boring As It Gets
Comment: Unfortunately in this situation, a very interesting story with an intricate plot, in-depth characters, and the capability of being a great read was instead turned into a boring, redundant, unimaginative book.
The flow of the story line was choppy and quite frequently the author went into too much detail about boring details. I do wish he would have explained more in depth how Janice was able to be convicted without a murder weapon - do we really believe she was able to commit the murder, hide the weapon and return to the murder site in such a short length of time?
Rating: 5
Summary: Incredible true story
Comment: There have been stories like this before, but they are very rare, and incredible when told. It is the tale of a black widow murderess who kills her husband for financial gain. Often stories of this ilk rise to national consciousness because it's so astonishing when a woman kills in such a cold-blooded manner. Usually the MO is poison, but not so for Janice Dodson the central character in this murder. She shot her husband on Snipe Mountain in the Colorado wilderness with a high powered hunting rifle, dead center in the chest.
What makes this story so intriguing is the perspective from which it is told. The author is the prosecutor of this case, and he recounts in great detail the complete investigation and subsequent trial. The reader gets a sense of the incredible amount of work and dedication it took from law enforcement and the DA's office to bring this case to trial. That it even came to trial is remarkable, and a true testament to the dogged determination shown by the author and others over a five year period.
All in all, a fascinating narrative of an incredible story and a great read.
Rating: 4
Summary: great read
Comment: This book is a great read. You really get the feeling of the hard work and long hours put into investigations, even if arrests are sometimes a bit slow in coming (at least in the minds of us outsiders). I definitely recommend Dead Center.
