5.0 out of 5 stars
A superb account of a tragic crime.
, By Leonard Was (Hamtramck, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masquerade: A True Story of Seduction, Compulsion, and Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
.Masquerade is the best true-crime book about Detroit that I've ever read, and I've read most of them. Cauffiel weaves a riveting account of one of the most bizarre murders in this city's recent history, naming names, pinpointing locations, and painting a vivid portrait of Motown's seamy underbelly and drug culture. Gripping and gritty, and very well executed.

I'VE READ THIS BOOK 3 TIMES IN 5 YEARS! IT STILL SHOCKS ME!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Masquerade: A True Story of Seduction, Compulsion, and Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
A "TRUE" true crime story leaves a lasting impression on the reader, Lowell Cauffiel's MASQUERADE does just that. Through extensive knowledge of the facts and a gift for storytelling Mr. Cauffiel unravels the bizarre life of Dr. Al Canty. Growing up I lived on the same block as Dr. Canty in Grosse Pointe Park. I am also familiar with the neighborhoods of Detroit where Dr. Al Miller played his games and can tell you Mr. Cauffiel's descriptions of these is right on the mark. I now know what went on in the quite house on the corner. BEWARE!!! After reading this book you will wonder what your doctor does after-hours!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
This true crime continues to shock and fascinate!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Masquerade: A True Story of Seduction, Compulsion, and Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
At the time of this crime I lived in a suburb outside of Detroit. I watched this puzzle unfold from the murder of Dr. Alan Cnaty to the release of Dawn from prison. I have read this book many times over the years, searching for clues as to why John & Dawn turned to drugs, prostitution and murder. Most perplexing to me was how the "Doc" could live two seperate lives for so long. The author puts the reader in Detroit, in the house on the streets, looking in a window to the place and times of this horrendous crime. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good true crime book.
