Amerithrax: The Hunt For The Anthrax Killer (2003) - Plot & Excerpts
This book was written before they "caught" the suspect who killed himself and they suspiciously closed the case. The good aspect of this book pertains to the multiple details regarding the case. They bad aspect of this book is that the author frequently goes off on tangents in which whole chapters and large portions of chapters are devoted to topics that have little-to-nothing to do with the case. You may find yourself bored, and/or skipping over pages until you see the author get back round to the actual Amerithrax case again. If you are hoping to glean some deeper insight into this strange unsolved case of terrorism, you will find there is not a lot here to satisfy you. There is very little in depth ivestigation about the possible motives for why the killer might have targeted the victims that were targeted, which is, of course, the real key to learning who the killer may have been. If you simply wish to have many dry and matter-of-fact details about the case all in one place, this book is not bad. But it is the fact that it is such a dry read that it took me so long to get through it. I kept putting it down, picking it up weeks and even months later, and putting it down again. Ultimatley, I found the book only moderatley satisfying and I hope to someday read a more investigative study.
