Motor Spirit: The Long Hunt for the Zodiac by Jarett Kobek

4.0

This book re-examines a bunch of the evidence surrounding the Zodiac serial killer. Kobek did a great job of pointing out the discrepancies within the letters and writings attributed to the Zodiac, which have mostly been ignored by other books and in many cases the police as well. He puts forth a very cogent argument about the authenticity of several of the Zodiac missives. However, since this was a print on demand effort, it could’ve used a good bit of editing. Kobek is a very skilled and competent writer, but the book was rife with typos, grammatical errors, and repeated words. Outside of the poor editing that distracted a bit from the message, this would’ve probably earned 5 stars. Definitely looking forward to reading the next in the series.
