Anyone even mildly interested in crime should read this book. I'd argue that even if crime doesn't interest you, it is still unputdownable, wrenching, awesome in every aspect. It's the (true) story of a writer telling the story of Jean Claude Romand, a murderer and impostor, and his friends who never dreamed that everything in the prestigious Dr Romand's life is a lie. I can't justify it here - read it.
