Summary: 3 Stars
"Zodiac Unmasked" by Robert Graysmith.
In the late 1960's in California a killer calling himself "The Zodiac" began killing and then contacting local news papers and police departments with information linking himself to the crime scene. Robert Graysmith a political cartoonist at one of the papers that received Zodiac letters became obsessed with the case and began gathering all the available information from various police files, witnesses and any other available sources in hopes of discovering who the Zodiac was. "The Zodiac Unmasked" details the case (His and the Police) and the information he gathered and presents what appears to be a fairly strong circumstantial case against one of the leading suspects.
The Good: The whole story of the Zodiac is pretty interesting and this book gives what is supposed to be one of the most detailed accounts of what actually happened and gives the latest information all the way up to December of 2000. The middle of the book has pictures of the suspect, copies of the letters and ciphers and pictures of some of the crime scenes and the investigators involved which was interesting. The overall telling of the story was good.
The Bad: My main gripe is that too much time was spent on The Zodiac copy cats. Long sections were devoted to these when a very quick mention with "Just the facts" would have been sufficient. There was also a little bit of repetition in stating theories and peoples estimation of the Zodiac's mental state.
Overall: If you are interested in this type of stuff you would probably enjoy this book. It is worth picking up and giving a read.
