An Average Man's Book Review - A Death In Belmont by Sebastian Junger

Junger is quite an accomplished author. He authored the books, Fire a collection of journalistic essays, and is probably best known for his work entitled, The Perfect Storm which you may recall was made into a major motion picture. If you enjoy reading non-fiction crime books, you will  enjoy Junger's book A Death In Belmont. This book deals with the sensational murders that took place in 1962 - 1963 and which were attributed to Albert DeSalvo, aka The Boston Strangler. Without divulging too much of the book, it features a very weird connection between DeSalvo and Junger when the author was a mere infant. It also features another man by the name of Roy Smith, a black ex-con, who was convicted of one of the murders and may be innocent due to the frenzy caused by the murder spree, and race relations that existed at that time in the United States. Junger's book is very well written, easy to read and extremely interesting if you like this kind of book. If you've read it, please comment and let me know what you thought of it. If you've read something that you can recommend, please do!                                                         Regards and good reading - Miles
