Cold-Blooded by Carlton Smith
Typically I am not much of a Carlton Smith true crime fan; however, I found Cold-Blooded to be a tremendous piece of writing for the true crime genre.
Most often writers are prone to present a bit of background, followed or preceeded by the known details of the crime and then the remainder of the book is generally the trial and sentencing of the accused; and, more often than not, is written almost word for word from trial transcripts.
Not so in Cold-Blooded! There is NEVER a dull moment in this book!
The life and doings of Laren (aka Elisa) Jordan/McNabeney is better than any beauty salon gossip any day!
And Carlton Smith details these events in a fast paced, attention gripping style that makes putting this book down difficult!
Highly, highly recommended for true crime fans!
