I’m trying to refrain from gushing about how interesting Vanessa Curry‘s latest book is! However, if you are interested in either of these: true crime; “who dun-it” ; the death penalty in Texas; the legal system or murder trials, then this book is for you. Curry writes from her hands on experience in covering the many murder trials of Kerry Cox Cook after the mutilation and death of Linda Jo Edwards in Smith County, Texas. She names names (which are listed in an Appendix}; she footnotes her documentation; she is truly an objective journalist. Curry writes about her interviews, interaction with all of the people involved and gives her personal anecdotes. Her interesting writing style is what has made her an award-winning journalist.

Lies and Consequences is a riveting true life account of a tragedy that Vanessa has painstakingly documented in an unbiased manner. Her vast experience as a professional journalist and writer enabled her to make a highly difficult case understandable. I greatly enjoyed the read and appreciated Vanessa’s talent for explaining how the law system works and how she laboriously uncovers and presents the facts. Furthermore, it’s imperative to read the Forward, Author’s Note, and the Prologue to lay the foundation which aids in the readers understanding. It’s with considerable enthusiasm that I strongly recommend this suspenseful and intriguing book!
