The author of the book, Helter Skelter and prosecuting attorney in the infamous Charles Manson Family murder trial takes on his first trial as a defense attorney. It is a murder mystery as well as a compelling legal case. Vincent Bugliosi has an incredible legal mind as this book shows. If you know anything about him or have read Helter Skelter, you will enjoy this book. I went back and forth on the issue of guilt or innocence of the defendant, until the very end. I couldn't put it down until I knew the truth!

I had bought and read And The Sea Will Tell in the early 90s, but had misplaced it. I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to reread it, so I purchased it again. I often recommend it to others who enjoy intrique, drama, and mystery. The fact that it was based on a true story, written by one of the attorneys involved in the case(s), was interesting also. I love the detailed descriptions of the environment and getting to know the characters (real people) intimately.

) This is probably about the 5th time I have purchased this book. My husband and I like this book so much, we keep giving it away to our sailing/boating friends and therefore have to purchase another one!

First Half Good -- Last Half TerribleReview created: 10/02/06
by:
) This is one of the creepiest sea stories out there: two couples sail to a desert island in mid-Pacific. One couple has a great boat, freezers full of food, racks full of wine, tools, spare parts, not to mention a lovely wife. The other couple have a boat that is rotting underneath them, a dwindling supply of beans, no way of getting off the island, and no way of surviving if they stay. Not to mention that the second couple is on the lam. You can see the murder, and hidden bodies, and re-painted boat, long before it all arrives. Very well written, and enough to give any sailor second thoughts about desert islands, and maybe, sailing.
The second half, though, is a moral mess. Vincent Bugliosi was the guy who prosecuted high-profile murders in LA for a decade or more, on the side of the good guys. But the twist in this book is that he, the author of the book, was also the defense lawyer for the wife of the murderer, who pretty clearly could have been if not a murderer, then at least an accomplice, herself. The book becomes his way of showing, "Yes, like any amazing lawyer, I can argue any side of any case, and win!" Really, pretty disgusting...if you don't buy that kind of "Well, the jury didn't say she was guilty" morality.
Advice: read the first half, ignore the second half, and keep Bugliosi in mind if you ever are tempted to go to court, when you don't have to.
