Burkhilly,
I'm not sure you even read the book comprehensibly, since your opening 'In a nutshell' paragraphs contains numerous factual errors. I almost thought you did it on purpose, so I re-read a few times and now I can't tell if it was carelessness or actually what you took away from the book. If you didn't like the book; fine. But what is up with the criticism of detail and new information. People have been literally begging for new information on this case and this book is filled to the brim with it. Also, Wallace was noted as being stoic and strange by his contemporaries, so that paragraph you wrote is needlessly dismissive. I really think some on this forum don't want this case to be solved.

Rod,
Shame you can't enjoy how far forward this book has moved the case. Wallace's guilt seems beyond doubt.
I've read the Final Verdict, and yes it is a very good book. However, it is also full of theories that to my mind are far less supportable by evidence. Same with Goodman's Mr. X numerous theories. Not sure what you all wanted out of this book. I read it and was fully ready to criticize it and let Mr. Gannon know if it wasn't up to par. After all, he had been promising a lot. I really felt he delivered. Were you expecting a videotape of the crime? Did this not persuade anyone, that at least Wallace definitively was guilty? (at least in planning the murders.)
