Till Death Us Do Part

Acclaim for a National Best Seller

“A far better book than even Helter Skelter, both in its dramatic presentation and in its revelation of an expert prosecutor’s conduct of a complex case.”

—John Barkham, Barkham Reviews

“Head and shoulders above anything of its type ever read by this review . . . Till Death Us Do Part must rank as one of the very best books ever written on crime and the criminal mind.”

—True Detective

“A true-life crime drama that proves far more suspenseful and engrossing than any fictional concoction.”

—King Features

“Gripping . . . Fascinating . . . Suspenseful . . . Bugliosi’s brutal cross-examinations, clashes with defense counsel, back-room maneuvering and perfect knowledge of the law make Perry Mason shows look like so much pap.”

—Phoenix Arizona Gazette

“A detective story that would rival anything Alfred Hitchcock could conjure up.”

—Portland Oregon Journal

“As compelling reading as a Cain novel.”

—Los Angeles Times

“A tale that in many ways is more chilling, more frightening than the Manson slaughter . . . A dramatic jury trial right out of Perry Mason.”

—UPI

“Reads like a latter-day The Postman Always Rings Twice, with a plot like Double Indemnity and characters who would have made Nathanael West jealous . . . . In leading us through the marvelous and mundane intricacies of a trial for murder, Vincent Bugliosi makes a lasting and often spectacular contribution to public understanding of our criminal justice system.”

—Washington Post

“A true whodunit . . . Absolutely riveting . . . Can’t put it down.”

—Los Angeles Magazine

“Horribly readable . . . A razzle-dazzle display of courtroom legerdemain.”

—Newsweek

“A book people will pack away to read on vacation.”

—Library Journal

“A gleaming gem . . . Bugliosi has painted a caricature of a mentally unbalanced person so subtly and skillfully as to hold the reader in the palm of his hand until the last, sweaty page. Don’t read this one alone.”

—Penthouse

“An incredible saga of greed, passion and innocent victims.”

—Publishers Weekly

“The best book for prosecutors out there. I learned a lot about how to prosecute a homicide case based on circumstantial evidence from reading this book, and highly recommend it to all prosecutors in our office.”

—William Hodgman, career prosecutor in the L.A. County DA’s office, and former California Prosecutor of the Year
