Mr. McCane
Missed Opportunity
I’ve been working Crimes Against Children cases exclusively for about 16 years. I’ve investigated hundreds of statutory rape cases. The book did a good job of putting us in the mind of a child molester. It’s meant to be an uncomfortable read, and it succeeded.
Unfortunately, there were several missed opportunities. I waited for the part that talked about why teenage male victims stay silent, how 94% of perpetrators against boys were women, why they don’t often disclose, how women perpetrators often get away with it, and the overall effect it has on the child. But that never happened.
What we got was chapter after chapter of detailed child molestation. It was almost as if the author tried her best to out-disgust her last chapter. As if she enjoyed writing it.
I also disliked how every male and police officer in the book are idiots, and only think with their private parts. It’s one of the worst tropes that need to end. And of course the female perpetrator does whatever she wants because she’s a beautiful privileged blonde (which she repeatedly reminds us). 😒
This book sucks and is a slap in the face to people like me, who are both a two-time victim of female child molesters and an investigator who has arrested more of them than I can count.
This is the worst book I’ve ever read, respectfully

I was looking forward to reading this, but I have to say that I was pretty disappointed. He talked too much about nothing. Fashion, cars, how to shoot dice, and how to iron clothes. Rich comes across as arrogant to me. I’m glad that he had a great father; that was great to read. And I enjoyed when he talked about his mother, who struggled with an addiction to crack cocaine.
I really disliked how he talked as if he was the biggest hustler Cleveland has ever had. I was annoyed.
Apparently, he’s pretty successful representing NBA players. If we want to know more about that, I guess we need to Google it because he doesn’t tell us much. Anyway, I couldn’t wait for it to end.
