Query: Meandering, maudlin, and mendacious

I found this book generally interminable and sometimes incomprehensible, with poor pacing and organization, and its hero-worship of the detective became downright annoying. I read it many years ago, long before there was a public outcry over the convictions (and execution), but even then felt that the case was a reach. My advice is to avoid it, particularly since even the factual basis for the book is questionable at this stage.
