Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial, gives a detailed, no-nonsense account of the Tate-LaBianca murders and the cult of Charles Manson. Given the book's reputation, I was pleasantly surprised to find a well-paced police procedural in lieu of a provocative page turner. The subject matter is grisly and obviously not for everyone. However, this book is a classic of the true crime genre precisely because it avoids playing up the sensational aspects of the crimes and focuses on the facts. The truth is shocking enough.
