Almost the Perfect Murder: The Killing of Elaine O'Hara, the Extraordinary Garda Investigation and the Trial That Stunned the Nation: The Only Complete Inside Account by Paul Williams

1.0

Looking back now, I have no idea why I decided to read this book. Sometimes I have a morbid curiosity about certain stories in the media. This story had such significant coverage and was so shocking, that it hooked me from the start. I wish now I wasn't so fascinated with it. This account was so detailed, it was disturbing. It left me with an intense sense of pity for the victim and such strong feelings of fear that people like her killer exist in this world. I was so sad and upset after reading this; it stayed with me for days afterwards and actually affected my sleep. Still, a valuable lesson was learned: Stick to the news accounts relating to stories like this and never delve any deeper.
