Book Reviews of Dead And Buried: A Shocking Account of Rape, Torture, and Murder on the California Coast
Book Review: Suspenseless and plodding
Summary: 2 Stars
Having read the many positive reviews of Dead and Buried, I assumed this would be a real page turner. Instead, it was a dull book that only made me feel terribly depressed. The only joy was finishing it, knowing I would have to work through any more repetitive chapters. I think the best true crime books keep the reader turning each page to learn more about the crimes, how the predators were caught, their mistakes, etc. There is tension, suspense, fear and hope - even though we know many will die before justice is served. Mitchell's book had little to do with how the police captured this predator - it was anti-climactic, anyway. Just the standard biographical filler, a summary of his crimes, and a few predictable chapters on his trial (spoiler: he's guilty, of course). It's all so utterly predictable. In the end, this seemed more like pornography than true crime. Or perhaps a 400 page newspaper article on these murders. Ann Rule has nothing to fear here.....
