A Deadly Affair - Tom Henderson
A colleague asked if my home in Hazel Park was near the home of the Fletchers, featured in a tv special as well as this book. I could find little detail online, so I borrowed the true crime book and worked my way through it. Turns out I live about a mile and a half from where Leann and Mick Fletcher lived, and where Leann died. I remember the very high profile case and the coverage that went along with it. The book shed little new light, and I found myself quibbling with some of the factual information about the communities represented by the author, as I had lived and/or worked in them. If you're a true crime fan, this one may be of interest, otherwise, there are better choices out there.
