Death on the Colorado Express: The Glen & Bessie Hyde Mystery

Rating:
Summary: This is SOOOOOO bad!
Review: This book, billed as "historical fiction," is closer to pornography-poorly written pornography at that. Much of the "evidence" used to make the author's case is, indeed, fictional. For instance, the photograph on page 178, said to be the last photo from Bessie Hyde's camera, is actually one taken two weeks earlier at Phantom Ranch by an onlooker. The significance heaped upon it, then, is imaginary. The lurid details of the Hydes' sex lives, brutality, and crudity, are pure fiction and based not on history, but on the author's twisted fantasies. Fiction, yes. Historical, no. Don't buy this.
