And the Sea Will Tell

Rating is averaged out between the story and the narrationThis audio was fine as far as the narration goes but it was waaay too long. [a:Vincent Bugliosi 28828 Vincent Bugliosi https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1299068352p2/28828.jpg] is clearly enamored of himself and his role as an attorney. The things that worked for me in [b:Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders 105992 Helter Skelter The True Story of the Manson Murders Vincent Bugliosi https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347694754l/105992.SY75.jpg 1077715] were tedious and wore out their welcome this time around. Probably the bulk of my disappointment stems from the fact that the defendant, Bugliosi's, client, is/was unsympathetic to me. I didn't believe her story as a sort of victim to Buck Walker. To me she was someone who like many others at the time, took a vacation from her life, got a shock and returned to live an upper middle class life. There's no shame in that but this was after aiding & abetting or perhaps even participating in the murder of two people. I could be wrong but those are my two cents. Meanwhile the author not only defends his client as any attorney should but is/was clearly enamored by her or under some kind of spell to the point where he substitutes only her name in the recounting of the whole tale. Additionally the reader/listener is regaled with a précis on law, cases, and case law. Make of this whatever you will. It didn't work for me but if you're interested the late 70s or early 80s this will add to that picture. As usual YMMV.
