One of the most harrowing crime stories ever...,

This review is from: Helter Skelter (Hardcover)
I first read "Helter Skelter" the same summer I read "In Cold Blood." Both books left indelible images in my psyche and ensured I would never look at the world of crime and investigation the same again.I've never read a book quite like HS since. Bugliosi and Gentry have written a taught and gripping blow-by-blow account of the two seemingly unconnected streams of events, the Tate/La Bianca murders and Manson's cult, how they horribly intersected and the breathtaking resolution. Bugliosi's reminiscences provide both the personal anguish that the investigation caused him and his family and the urgent immediacy that gripped him and the community to see that justice was finally done. Unforgettable and unflinching, "Helter Skelter" forces us to look into the eyes of evil and learn more about ourselves. See also my reviews of the "Helter Skelter" TV movie and the audio book version.
