A Cold-Blooded Business: Love, Adultery, and Murder in a Small Kansas Town ReviewWhat a disappointing book. It might have been a real-life "Bonfire of the Vanities," filled with fascinating character analysis and societal description. Instead, it is a flat bit of rehashed reportage and sloppy editing. (The most comical example lies at the bottom of page 120 and the top of 121: "When one of the men's indictments for child molestation was read aloud, Kristina buried her hands in her head." Hands in her head? Unless Kristina stuffed her fists in her mouth, this should have read "her head in her hands.")
The book is short and the type is large. It lacks thoroughness. I'm forced to surmise the author, being unable to draw precise conclusions about the defendants' guilt or innocence, grew bored with the subject and was ready to move on with his gig [...]. The result represents a lost opportunity to shine a light on many different worlds: corporate, religious, legal, Olathe, Pelham, lower class, upper class, etc. I, as a reader, felt cheated because Fuchs failed to flesh out many of the key characters. Surely, Dr. J Wilmer Lambert, Big Daddy himself and the primary impediment to good policework, deserves a full chapter.
Scant attention is paid to the larger concepts of evil, justice, and redemption. A better writer--Truman Capote, say--would have done so much more with this motherlode of moral relativism. Why does Truman Capote come to mind? Because Marek Fuchs invokes Capote's spirit in the foreward. He sets himself up with this unfortunate comparison because, alas, Fuchs is simply a reporter without Capote's perspicacity, art and soul. The reader gains little insight into a case that continues to haunt me personally and, using one of Fuchs' few polished phrases, threatens to lead my "entire worldview down a rabbit hole."A Cold-Blooded Business: Love, Adultery, and Murder in a Small Kansas Town Overview
