😵‍💫😳Wow! A very inclusive and compelling book. Great narration🎧

ChaoticMissAdventures I always think about Angela Lansbury when CM comes up. What an amazing mom she was. 5d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4d
CoverToCoverGirl SO happy you read this one! It was definitely a WOW read for me too. The police had no idea what they were dealing with, a lot of it was just plain dumb luck. Although in their defence the crimes committed were so heinous that they weren‘t equipped to handle what was unfolding. 2d

This one still scares the hell out of me.

Prairiegirl_reading I couldn‘t finish this one. So disturbing! 2mo
lil1inblue I haven't read any books about the Manson murders, but I did listen to a really good podcast about them. It was tough listening! Haunting stuff. 2mo
AmyG My most favorite true crime book. I rarely read a book twice but I read this one twice. I will date myself and say I remember reading about this as a kid in the New York Times. I was fascinated. (edited) 2mo

So, I learned that before his cult days, Manson was arrested not far from where I‘m from. (Wow). Anyway this was such a great, informative read!

AkashaVampie I recently found out that Manson was in prison with Danny Trejo. That is so weird to me. 5mo

Spending my night reading while the hubby plays video games (he moved it into the bedroom so he can keep me company)

Oof this is a tough read. It‘s beyond worth it, but for the most part, I did the audiobook (which actually has an afterword my copy does not). This is probably one of the most detailed true crime novels, I‘ve ever read. Bugliosi, being involved as his role of prosecutor, is able to provide those nitty gritty details. Despite that, though reasons are provided for the Manson murders, it‘s hard to make sense of them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This True Crime book has been on my TBR list, forever. The book showed me what I already figured out: Mason was crazy as shit! He had already been in jail a ton of times before he became an adult.

This book is a chunkster. It was interesting but very hard to read. I had to take a lot of breaks while reading it. It just showed how evil some people are.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

Around this time, I do my best to also clear up the books that I‘ve started but not finished in the year (because I usually have a few that got set aside). I‘m not sure how I‘ll do with that goal because I have two hefty reads (Hyperion and this one).

With my true crime, I tend to do both audio and tangible. Audio at least gets me started, but I‘ve been working on this one for 7 months. Let‘s see if I can get a chunk done at least.
