This book appears to be a collection of essays written by a bunch of grad students. I haven't read the other chapters but the one on the JonBenet Ramsey case has error after error in it. Examples: There is no such person as "Rene(e)Lucas". That was a pseudonym created by Henry Lee. Yet the author talks about "Lucas" and the person for whom the pseudonym was created as though they are separate people, The Ramseys did not refuse to allow Melinda and John Andrew to be interviewed. In fact, they were interviewed within a day or two of the murder, John Ramsey did not "insist" on calling his pilot, and so on and so on and so. Save your money and buy Schiller's Perfect Murder, Perfect Town if you want an overview of this crime.
