this book brought me to tears numerous times. i have a personal connection with the family and know lee ann as a human being. the events were beyond tragic. however, the book tends to harp on things. there is plenty of useless information. not enough time was focused on lee ann and her family as human beings. i am, however, grateful that it does not outright portray her as a monster and it does focus on what a freak show her ex husband was. it is a good read, just remember to take everything with a grain of salt and all that you read is not factual.

Great story/great book ...

I'm a fan of Bob Mladinich first true crime account of New York serial killer Joel Rifkin ("From the Mouth of the Monster") ... I've also had the pleasure of meeting the big guy (Mladinich) and he's the real thing. This is a very well research and written account of a fascinating crime.

A TRAGEDY OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY

My review rating is between Bryan mackay's - A TRUE CRIME MASTERPIECE - and K. Cantrell's - A CLICHE MURDER, AND THE BORING DETAILS THAT FOLLOW. I have read many, many true crime books and this book did not keep my interest as much as some others I have read. I think it was because of the repetiveness that K. Cantrell mentions. Peter Wood "WriterFighter" - FIRST-TIME CRIME READER - states that it was somewhat repetitive, but it was repetitive in a good way to him. It wasn't for K. Cantrell and me. It seemed like filler to me. It was very sad that an innocent man, who by all accounts was a great guy, was killed by mistaken identity. I had much empathy for his family. I felt that Lee Ann's mom, Pat Armanini, and her lesbian lover, Elizabeth "Liz" Budroni, should have been held more accountable. It was Liz who started asking around for someone to hurt Lee Ann's husband, Paul Riedel, and it was her who first introduced Lee Ann to the shooter. Liz and Pat were both in on the meetings to discuss doing something bad to Paul. Either one of them could have gone to the police with the information and maybe prevented the tragedy.
