"Well written and thorough; too thorough to always be an exciting read. I enjoyed learning about Cooke's circle of friends, acquaintances, and fellow musicians, it was just confusing at times. The book picked up towards the end."
"boy it would have been interesting to look into the personalities and histories of those involved in his murder to try to postulate exactly what happened."
