The Onion Field by Joseph Wambaugh

[Ashley]

I had a hard time figuring out what story to read this week. After scouring Listopia, I figured that I just can't go wrong with a true crime novel! In my eyes, if it includes the stories of the detectives as well as a true crime, chances are there is some fiction included. That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

I have concerns with its age, being that it was originally published in 1973 (My mother was barely in Kindergarten back then!), and its summary doesn't strike me as engaging. That said, it's true crime and I'm hoping to enjoy it.
