Sometimes too detailed...but Tiffany is a sure-footed guide through the labyrinth of Dealey Plaza. I’m never inspired; this book inspired me. It touched my soft spot for amateur sleuths, obsessive page-turning, and the outer limits of facticity. The Warrenologists have much to teach us.
A social history of novelistic propulsion with fanatical documentation and a sympathetic understanding of what drives the driven ... Tiffany doesn’t try to oversell the underground’s achievement — they made mistakes, sometimes were led astray, squabbled with one another — but she ultimately salutes the democratic energy that sustained them through the years.
Tiffany conducted meticulous, wide-ranging research to construct an engrossing portrait of a ragtag group of citizen sleuths whose zeal and dedication transformed them into a to-be-reckoned-with force for truth and accountability.
