Helpful Score: 1

This is not a book that will let you laugh and relax. I would suggest that you not place it on your bedside table for relaxing reading before you fall asleep. I tried that and found myself reading on and on and getting more and more awake. This is a story that makes you question police methods and assumptions, that makes you question the abilities of the media to get at the truth, that makes you sympathetic with people who are accused of crimes (and sometimes publicly convicted without any trial held). Ms. Cummins, intimately involved in the story herself, does a good job of telling the story. It is the story of two of her cousins, who were murdered, and of her brother, who was witness to the crime, but accused of perpetrating the crime by police personnel who assumed rather than investigated. It is a good read.
