Killing Kebble: An Underworld Exposed (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Mandy Wiener has brought the characters to life in a well written book. At times i felt some sympathy for the three killers until I am reminded of the fact that they are thugs. Wiener has highlighted the fact that the criminals are actually the ones who are in power with friends in high ranking positions. The book shows that money and an inept crime fighting force can buy you your freedom. A compelling read. The story itself is interesting and intriguing. I think that the author did a good job with Mikey Schultz, Nigel and Kappie as characters, but others weren't as well developed and harder to relate to. She also would slip into journalism mode quite often and there was a lot data to try and absorb (names, dates, information) which I struggled with as sometimes I had to concentrate quite hard to keep track of everything. I did find it quite a tiring book to read, but I think if you're interested in the Brett Kebble story and the political story related to it, it's probably worth a read.
What do You think about Killing Kebble: An Underworld Exposed (2011)?
Innovative way to handle a "murder mystery" Open-end. I am uncertain on who the real murderer was.
