I felt like some of the evidence that was presented was circumstantial and reaching. There were many times that I thought "that could have happened, but there's no proof, it could have been someone else." I definitely didn't agree with the handwriting analysis. I'm not an expert, but I looked at those samples and to me, they looked completely different and I don't believe the same person wrote them at all. And connecting some events to Man Ray's art because Dr. Hodel was "obsessed" with it seemed to be reaching for a connection. Plenty of murderers and serial killers pose their victims, I really feel like the fact that Elizabeth Short was posed doesn't have the connection to Man Ray's art that Steve Hodel thinks it does.
There is, obviously, proof that Dr. Hodel and Elizabeth Short knew each other, because he had her pictures in his album. However, that doesn't necessarily mean he killed her. It does seem likely, and Dr. Hodel was a manipulative, deceptive man. Some of the other murders that are included here I'm not so sure about...or there are a lot of others that Steve hasn't connected yet. There are time frames where Dr. Hodel and/or Fred Sexton were murdering almost weekly, then there's no one for over a year.
I will say that I was definitely on the fence about Steve's evidence and case against his father until the Aftermath section at the end of the book. After gaining access to certain files that he hadn't previously had access to, and having the transcripts from the bugs in the Franklin house, I feel some of the items that I wasn't convinced by seemed to finally solidify for me.
All in all, a great read. Well written and researched, and thorough to the point of sometimes being too detailed. If you enjoy true crime, this is definitely one to get engrossed in.… (meer)
