Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders by Vincent Bugliosi

4.0

---

Let's call it a 3.5. This book is....long. It is so, so, so, so, so long. While jam-packed with every minute detail of the investigations, trials and aftermath, I feel that it could still be edited. Bugliosi, the author and prosecutor of the Tate-LaBianca murders, rehashes information previously established a few different times and I think it wouldn't have been so long to read if the reader was told information once.

If you've ever been remotely fascinated in this case, this is the book to start with.

I will say I appreciated Bugliosi's voice as the narrator.
