Freakish Friday

Good Evening My Fellow Book Dragons,

I do hope the start of Autumn is being kind to you. Our gem this evening came to me in the form of a golf ball. It arrived in a small crimson bag and as I opened it the unmistakable smell of visceral hate assaulted my nostrils. I barely tapped it with my claw when blood black as treason oozed forth. This is Dragon Feeder Stephanie Kane’s “True Crime Redux”.

True Crime Redux is the true crime story of Ms. Kane’s Mother-in-law-to- be in 1973. The book is fascinating and is laid out similar to a law file or dossier.

She begins by telling of her last conversation in June of 1973, with Elizabeth (Betty) Frye, a 45 year old housewife. Betty had been against her son’s engagement to the author upon religious differences, but during that phone call she seemed to have reconciled herself to the impending marriage. Two hours later, Betty was dead, murdered. Beaten to death, but by whom?

I don’t do spoilers as you all well know and so I will say this…True Crime Redux is one of the top ten most fascinating True Crime novels I have read in decades. The Monster in this book was cold, calculating, abusive and cunning. You will not want to miss this one True Crime Dragons!!

It’s sold where your favorite True Crime is available. Get it now, it’s going to be too cold to go outside soon. You will definitely be missing a great true crime story if you don’t.

I will be running a contest in honor of my birthday next month. Watch here, Instagram and Facebook for details.

Until next week, I remain your humble Book Dragon,

Drakon T. Longwitten
