As it says this is a book of essays on various aspects of the JFK murder. Which one finds most interesting is a matter of taste and personal interest but all seem carefully researched and thought out. This is not a sensational type book but it is the better for that in my opinion. His research into the hotels in Helsinki in which Oswald stays is simple but revealing. .His investigations regarding the dismantling of the rifle and the paper bag in which it was said to have been brought into the TSBD building are particularly good. Definitely worth buying. My only slight criticism is that the author sometimes seems too willing to accept what a witness says at face value eg Ed Hoffman or Capt Westbrook .In his interview with Johnny Brewer I am intrigued by the two men in his shop apparently killing time who it seems lock up the shop while Brewer is at the Theatre; Perhaps there is an innocent explanation for that but it would have been nice if it had been followed up. An excellent book.
