Joseph Wambaugh's Echoes in the Darkness and its subsequent TV dramatization have made household words of both Susan Reinert, the murder victim, and Dr. Jay Smith, a high school principal and her accused killer. The naked body of Susan Reinert, a suburban Philadelphia school teacher, was found jammed into the hatchback of a car. Her two young children were missing and never found.
Thus began one of the most prominent murder cases in Pennsylvania history, and one that would grip the nation. Now the defense attorney for the main suspect of the murders - Jay Smith, the principal of the school where Reinert taught - takes you inside the cover-ups and corruption that dramatically affected the outcome of the case. Did Jay Smith do it? Did he deserved the death penalty? It is you who must decide.
Contains mature themes.

The Bad: Written by the lawyer for the defense, there are a lot of oratory devices included in the text that probably work well in court but are detrimental to a book (e.g., repetition for dramatic effect).
In another aside, the narrator sounds like he runs out of breath at the end of every few sentences.
The Ugly: If the author had any concern for the murder victims, it got lost in what he calls his own "vindictiveness" at his opposition. (Admittedly, there was definite prosecutorial misconduct.) He also seems oddly fixated on his own image and the images of his associates. discussing their appearances (the author says at various points that he looks like Burt Reynolds and also has 'greek islander good looks'), the cars they drive (blue BMW), and their vacations. I could've done with a lot less of such irrelevant details and more about the possible guilt or innocence of his client.
