The Innocent Killer

Poorly written and researched. Released on the back of a documentary without any realistic journalistic skill. Cashes in on making a murder. No substance. Writer appears to change his view half way through!!! Very poor . Hugely disappointing and unprofessional.

A gripping but horrifying and tragic account of something that one would usually associate with a script from a modern Thriller movie. However, all sadly too real. It appears to me that Avery, who had shown signs of disturbed behaviour in his past, had allowed his being the recipient of a terrible miscarriage of justice, to twist his mind even further to the extent that he committed a crime most evil and monstrous after his release from prison.

The first two thirds or so of the book (the sections dealing with the first case) was fascinating and very in depth. The remainder of the book felt as if it was written by someone else. It just skimmed the second case, skipping over a variety of crucial topics, and the author had clearly already made up his mind on the case and didn't see the point in discussing it further. If I was to rate the last third alone, I'd probably only give two stars.

This is a great book which for me was addictive. A proper 'page turner', I was gripped from the start after watching making a murderer. I am stunned and shocked at the way one man has been treated so badly by the police. If you look at the facts I find it impossible to come to the same decision as the jury, however in an attempt to be balanced I can see why at the time the prosecution got the result they got. If there is a retrial I hope that there is a follow up book. A totally gripping and enthralling read.

good read. was recommended by my son who had watched the box set. excellent.

I loved how the author wrote this book, even though this book contains loads of details in it, it doesn't frazzle your mind. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to read about Steven Avery from when it all began.

If you watched making a murderer please read this book. It puts another perspective on the events.

Excellent book.
