Started this one this morning. It's somewhat out of my wheelhouse, but seems interesting.

Just past the halfway point now, and I'm kinda wondering if it was all made worse by widely publicizing that the guy had a tiny dong.

And I finished. My favorite part was probably the line that they'd definitely ruled out Tom Hanks. While I'm not really a true crime guy, the look at how and why McNamara went about investigating as a hobbyist was really interesting. It's definitely the sort of thing I could see getting obsessed about.

In a sense, this is my biggest problem with the book. All the comments about "Why didn't the call the police when they heard a dog bark or thought they heard something in the back yard." Like in all these new subdivisions gone up next to the walnut and orange orchards there aren't possums or racoons or whatever. I feel like it really promoted kneejerk police calling and sort of an active fear of everything.
