Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime

"Bugliosi, the quintessential prosecutor, has written a crime book that should be read by every lawyer and judge in America." ―F. Lee Bailey

On December 11, 1966, a mysterious assassin shot Henry Stockton to death, set his house on fire, and left the scene without a trace. A year later, when a woman was found brutally killed, shreds of evidence suggested a connection between the two murders.

In the Palliko-Stockton trial, prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi offered a brilliant summation that synthesized for the jury the many inferences and shades of meaning in the testimony, fitting all the pieces together in a mosaic of guilt. But will the jury be persuaded?

5.0 out of 5 stars True Crime fans, look no further!

This book is impossible to put down once you've read the first paragraph. Vince Bugliosi has an outstanding ability to articulate what's going through his own mind and an incredible sense of what must be going through another's mind. His grasp of human nature and his willingness to humble himself, make him so accessible and powerful!
When you read through this book, you will have a great sense of what has transpired over a good span of time, and in my opinion, you will not be left with any doubt that he made all the right decisions during the trial of these villains.
If you're a fan of true crime, this is among the best I've read! It's fantastic.

Geez, people can be so terrible!! This book was hard to put down ... a bit dry at times due to the extreme legal details, but very compelling all the same. I just wish there had been pictures of the main characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Epic True-Crime Tale

I'm a fan of Vincent Bugliosi, the legendary former prosecutor-turned-author who might best be known for his prosecution of the Charles Manson family and the subsequent blockbuster classic true-crime, HELTER SKELTER.

TILL DEATH US DO PART is, in my opinion, an even better true-crime book based upon a two-defendant double murder prosecution during Bugliosi's time with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office. Though a lesser-known crime, it is as fascinating, as horrific, as senseless as the Manson family murders, if not colder, more callous and calculating, as the victims were the spouses of the two suspects in this case.

Bugliosi takes us through the crimes and then brings us into the courtroom for the whole affair, providing insight into trial strategies, obstacles, and unexpected twists and turns. When you get near the end, believing you've now heard the whole story, there is an encore presentation that I personally found shocking (but won't tell you any more than that).

This is a must-read for any true-crime fan, and it perhaps could serve as a training manual for law students and prosecutors everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read True Crime Book
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2011

Years ago, I read  Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders  and was blown away by the story. The story came to life and the details put you in the middle of the story. Recently, I came across some of Bugliosi's other work and decided to give it a try. Bugliosi wrote a masterful book here and the story still captivates over four decades after the murders.

The plot is straight out of a made-for-tv mystery movie. It is a story that is so incredible that it had to be true to be believed. Bugliosi's careful research, scholarship, and explanation brings the story to life in a fascinating way. Despite his measured, careful approach to telling the story, the plot moves at a breakneck pace until the trial comes close to ending. The book drags towards the end, repeating some of the same information already covered in the closing arguments and counterarguments. That is the only real complaint I have, and its a small one.

This is highly recommended and one of the top five true crime books I have ever read. Buy it, read it, and you won't be disappointed.

I am a Bugliosi fan and was anxious to read this book because I read his, "And the Sea Will Tell" recently, and loved that one. I'm 100 pages into "Till Death Us Do Part", but find myself making comparisons between the two. I'm not as engaged and engrossed as I was with his other book. I'll stick with it to the end because I enjoy Bugliosi's writing style and attention to detail, but so far, I don't find it as compelling as I had anticipated.

This author is fantastic. This book is beyond words ,as I've read it far more times than I can count. I live in the L.A.area and can relate to the reality of the streets and other landmarks talked about. I m sure this will not be the final reading for me, I suggest that you read it at least once...while you're at it put your self in one of the characters shoes and tell us how you feel.

Considering Vincent Bugliosi was the prosecutor, this book should have been unputdownable - unfortunately, I found it rather slow and confusing at times. I absolutely appreciate the crimes were very cruel and brutal, but as a true crime story, I found it lacking tension and An ok book.
