My best girlfriend actually worked for McAfee for a short time about six or seven years ago, staying in his beautiful house in Tucson, AZ as the live-in housekeeper. None of the stories written about him mention the Tucson stay - and he was here quite awhile - but nothing about his behavior then would have indicated what was to come, I can tell ya that. I thought this was an excellent read and, at the end, I wished there had been more! Davis does a great job capturing - and then blending - the creepiness, the humor, the urgency, the downfall, and even the bittersweet of the story, making it all work. The characters, the scenery, the off-the-wall thought process of the leading cast ....all of it was crisp and clear and extremely fun to read. I particularly enjoyed the interaction between McAfee and that crazy young girlfriend and found myself wishing there had been more written about that....but then reminded myself that this was non-fiction and that you can't make this stuff up! Even if you could, I doubt I'd be as much fun. A real page turner. My only complaint was that I wished it was longer!
