Thomas Capano was a member of the Democratic party, and a member of a prominent family in Delaware. He became a lawyer, where he worked at Saul Ewing LLP. While there, he became involved in an affair with Anne Marie Fahey, the appointments secretary for Governor Tom Carper. Fahey was also involved in a relationship with another man. The last time Fahey was seen alive was when she went out to dinner with Capano, making him the prime suspect in her disappearance. Capano was arrested and charged with the murder of Anne Marie Fahey.
I have a couple of takeaways from this book. While we all know which political party is worse in regards to human rights, this goes to show you that no political party is perfect and creeps exist in all parties. (I must remind everyone that I hate political parties in general.) People often think that someone from a good family, with a good job, with fame/fortune, would never do anything like this. People cheat on their spouses all the time, people feel entitled to things they cannot have or do not deserve, and a lot of those types are the exact ones that people act shocked about when they get busted. You can never trust anyone, and the more crime books and shows you read, the more you should know that. It's scary and revolting.
Anyway, as far as this particular book goes, the research was well done. I had never heard of this case or these people, so I learned a great deal about that. I thought the writing was very engaging, and I had a hard time putting it down. I was interested in the legal processes that were outlined in this book. I think anyone who is interested in true crime, or just getting into it, should look through Ann Rule books and check them out. They are usually consistently well done.
