The Zani Murders [Mass Market Paperback]

Kelly Fero (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In 1967, student activist George Vizard was slain at his convenience store job in Austin, Texas. In 1974, Gladys Zani disappeared from her Tulsa, Oklahoma home and was never seen again. In 1979, real estate agent A.J. Dess was robbed and murdered while showing property to a married couple. Responsible for these varied killings was Robert J. Zani (son of Gladys Zani), a University of Texas graduate and apparent psychopath. The original investigation of the Vizard case was botched, but 14 years later Zani was convicted, thanks in part to cooperation by Zani's Mexican wife. While Zani and his motivations remain shadowy, Fero does provide a detailed, suspenseful account of the investigation that nailed Zani. For true crime collections.

This review is from: The Zani Murders (Hardcover)

I enjoyed reading this story because it wasn't written in a convoluted, "let me see how complicated I can make this" sort of way. It was just a well written, straight-out investigation story that shows the determination it took to find the evidence that finally led to the conviction of the murderer. Of course, the added interest for me was that I lived in Austin and knew the investigators and the DA.

This book gives you a good reason to bolt the door at night. The aurther may have spent to much time developing a few charters but all in all, I'd say the wait pays off.
