Robert, Thank you for taking me on as a friend. I lived on Long Island when The Gilgo Beach murders occurred, so was quite connected to your first book, Lost Girls. It was a fantastic book. Humanized the women. Appreciate that you did this.
Your 2nd book, Hidden Valley Road was extremely well written. It was both fascinating to read the facts of an illness, but also so emotional to be connected to this family who were devastated by Schizophrenia. You did an incredible job here, too.
Thanks for the recommendation, Robert. Will order it from Amazon. I recommend Carthage by Joyce Carol Oates and some Lydia Davis, both very instructive and delicious.Also my book! Its coming out aug 19, already on Amazon, called 'Timeless: Love, Morgenthau, and Me' about the life of my husband long time DA of NYC, and me as well as an inside look at him as a person and his most famous cases - Central Park Jogger, Astor elder abuse etc.

Thank you so much, Kristine. I'm so glad you liked both books and took the time to let me know. All best to you.
