With One Shot: Family Murder and a Search for Justice by Dorothy Marcic

2.0

I read "With One Shot" at the same time as I listened to Steinbeck's "East of Eden", and I was stunned by the similarities between Steinbeck's Kathy and the murder suspect in this book, Suzanne. Both women are truly dreadful human beings. The things that Suzanne would say and do, and the things she got away with, are truly astounding..
I read 50% of this book, and I didn't feel the need to finish it. The book is more a memoir about the author's research efforts than a narrative true crime story. I feel this would have been a much better book if the story was told in a linear fashion with less focus on the author as a researcher.
