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

4.0

---

I found this book fascinating. I am new to the true crime genre and didn't know much about the Manson murders and family before this book. Bugliosi presents this from the prospective of his job as the prosecutor and the story he needs to tell the jury to get a conviction. Manson's insanity and the family he cultivated and controlled is chilling and this is a real page-turner.
