When the author was a baby, the Boston Strangler worked in his home. (Fortunately, his mother ignored his invitation to join him in the basement.) This book is fascinating (and, of course, unpleasantly graphic at certain points)--nothing like a good mystery.

As the daughter of the murder victim in "A Death in Belmont" I
can assure you that the book is an attempt to exploit a case which was
adjudicated in a fair manner. Junger wants to capitalize on the
picture he has of his mother, himself and Albert DeSalvo.
The hard evidence against the convicted murder is omitted from the book in order to present the
reader with a mystery. The conviction of Roy Smith was upheld
by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court a fact which Junger
never reveals to the reader. The opinion by the Justices presents the evidence. If you wish to see a copy of the Supreme Court Opinion

Ms. Goldberg,
I am so sorry for the tragedy that your family endured.
