Review: Bare Naked Truth

I loved this book for what was not in it. The reader is never given any "descriptive fill". No character is presented with so much as light or dark hair or eye coloring, much less "handsome in his exquisitely tailored pin-stripe" or that she wore "her figure-flattering plaid dress which emphasized her flawless complexion". Naked truth is refreshing and interesting regardless of how the characters or setting or any other element is described. Mr. King scraped away all the fat and flesh leaving the bones to tell the truth. No red herrings of mystery writing, no romance, no manipulated timeline. Simply put, it's a progression in timeline fashion of the procedure of getting from point "A" ( the murder) to point "Z" (conviction). If you enjoy true crime, this author appears to be a master of writing it.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it highly.
