I really should learn to never judge a book by it’s cover…but that is what I did with Tacoma Confidential for many months. The cover, the title, they just didn’t grab my attention. But once I opened the book and started reading…it had my fullest attention.
Paul LaRosa does an excellent job of relaying the story of Tacoma Police Chief David Brame who, in 2006, shot his estranged wife in a RiteAid parking lot before turning the gun on himself. And, sadly enough, this occured while the couple’s children were just a few feet away.
Tacoma Confidential is a riveting tale of sex, scandals, and attempted cover-up by many of Tacoma’s high ranking officials. It is a definite must read for any true crime fan!
