Summary: Friends til the End
Review: I have been a friend of Benny's since the early '70's. This book does not portray HIM as the killer, it tells how he couldn't have been the killer. There's more to this story than what has been printed, but being the man that he is, he will not incriminate others by telling the whole story.
Before the Ky killing, when Sherry was involved, she seemed like an ignorant female trying to keep up with 'her man'. Benny may have been a crook, but never a killer. He may have led a life of crime, but he also has a heart. I have bought this book twice & loaned it out, so I am ordering it again. It is based on some facts & news clippings & case files, but no interviews from Benny himself. Crooked sheriff's, judges, DA's, jurors... I have family in Ky, I know how crooked it is. Since this book has been written there has been more evidence unfolded against Lecter Co judicial system. Blame the real murderer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Long Weeks' Journey Into Night
Review: O'Brien's Opus on murky Kentucky death, politics, and corruption starts out like a well-written episode of A & E's "City Confidential" only in this case encompassing a whole region: So rich was the soil, so plentiful were the fish and game and various the beauties of Kentucky, that its original inhabitants, including Shawnee and Cherokee, fought continuously over tribal boundaries and called it 'the dark and bloody ground,' the phrase from which the name Kentucky derives."

This true and bloody crime trail meanders through murders, trials, states, stings, judicial removals, attorney disbarments and money jars buried out back. The reader needs an index to recognize all the bit players when the tale wends back around the mountain to them. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Dark and Bloody Ground; a true story.
Review: This is a true story of stealing, killing, loving, and living without remorse. A true story of corruption in small towns; lawyers, sheriffs, deputies and many more. The author, Darcy O'Brian did an excelent and unique job of potraying these people as the events unfolded. This book held my interest all the way to the end. There was not a dull moment. It's filled with unbelieveable acts of stealing and murder.
