Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders
by Vincent Bugliosi
*AUDIOBOOK* WHEWWWWW 27 long hours spent but clearly it was well written because I listened to all of them. I liked this a lot, though if it was written today it would be flagged as problematic I think for its focus on the murderers and not the victim. In addition, I think it lacks the proper exploration of perspective on group think and how Charlie prayed on his cult members intentionally to find people that he could exploit for crime. My last qualm was that the author couldn’t help but pat himself and his prosecution skills at every opportunity. But hey! It was the biggest public trial up to that point. It’s a good book and a nice alternative to true crime podcasts. I don’t know if I would’ve made it through in visual format.
