helter skelter

Even with my twisted fascination about murderers and evil historical figures (ex. Hitler) and my love of reading, I hadn't read Helter Skelter about the Manson Murders before. I downloaded it onto my iPod and listened to it on my nightly walks. It was full of facts and bio information, etc. and I loved it - like I knew it would. The most interesting part for me was the fact that it took the police so long to piece it together. I don't think we, the general public, realize how much goes into a police investigation and all of the rules that need to be followed and mistakes that can be made. This book gave me a true look into how not everything is obvious to everyone but - in one way or another - justice is usually served ... but not always the way we want it to be. There are still several murders unaccounted for and Manson still has millions of followers and is wasting tax payers money - but at least he is behind bars - he is one animal that needs to be kept an eye on!
