Marsha Woerner reviewed Hell's Princess by Harold Schechter
Review of "Hell's Princess" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Such an unsatisfying case! And, of course, I am convinced that I know what happened – or didn't as the case may be – despite the fact that people who have been there and physically examined and worked on the case are of mixed feelings.
And I like to believe that I KNOW more science and motivational promptings than anyone there does! And really, it should be extremely easy. And given all of the possibilities, it should be very clear.
But it's not.
The book is presented in such a way that the reader FEELS clear about everything, until he/she isn't! Even by the end of the court case, I was totally convinced of the overall situation and guilt. Again, until I wasn't…
A totally enthralling and engrossing story presented extremely well!
