Welcome to Litsy!

Schechter once again included far, far more information that was not really relevant to the main story. While interesting it became boring due to the added information.

When the author finally got to the crime this book evolves around I realized I knew the story. The show ‘Crime of the Century‘ or ‘Crimes to Remember‘ (not sure of the exact title) from Discovery ID had an episode about this crime.

A little #audiocoloring on this ManCub‘s 4th snow/cold day of the week.

Doing some #audiobaking today. Picked this up from Kindle Unlimited(I love that they have audio as well). This is the 3rd Schechter book I‘ve read. He really has a tendency to add a whole lot of irrelevant information. I‘m just under an hour into this and it‘s just starting to get to the actual story or at least I think it is.

Interesting, frightening, and well researched. Disturbing but recommended for other true crime fans.

While the book was mostly interesting, Schechter dilutes the interest by including several other murders that took place nearby without drawing a clear connection between them. There was no other real tie--young(ish) women, murdered, in or near Beekman Place, with most attention given to Robert Irwin (the "mad sculptor" of the title)--but why include the others? Irwin's story is compelling on its own, and would have been enough.
