A review by mcmattiello
Echoes in the Darkness by Joseph Wambaugh

4.0

This was a difficult book to read because I knew that there would be no satisfactory ending. Two men went to death row but one gets off years later. One dies in prison never telling what happened to the children. Wambaugh does a good job of keeping it all straight. How much of the guilt can we lay at Jay Smith's door? How much at Bradfield? No answers here. But plenty of circumstantial evidence. This is a tragic case with no real resolution. Maybe some day new evidence will turn up, but I doubt it.
