I am wondering how many of you out there have Radin's book and what you thought about it.
I purchased it many, many years ago, I think possibly at the 100th Anniversary Conference. I still can't get through that book. It is just so boring. Every time I try to pick it up and read it I only get a few pages in.
Anyone else have the same difficulty with that particular book?

I never found it boring, though I can't imagine that a servant who flew into a rage and killed her mistress (which does happen) would hang around to kill her master.* I feel sure if Maggie had killed Abby, she'd have disappeared into the Irish community in a flash.


*Ok, the only scenario I can come up with - Andrew had been having sex with Maggie - Abby found out, and words ensued - and then, a killing. Maggie killed Andrew to make sure no one else would know about the sex, and so her motive would never surface.

Bob,
Oh wait a minute! I feel like a complete loser!
I'm so sorry, I did not mean the Radin book, I got the authors names confused! I meant the Todd Lunday book!
Please forgive the confusion!
The Todd Lunday book was written I believe shortly after the murders took place and each sentence has the word "said" in just about every sentence: "on said day, at said time...etc, etc..."
Should I repost? Maybe people will see it and see my error-I meant another totally different book, different author!
