Dear season? February 10, 2008

This is a true crime book by Dave and lynn Distel about Bruce Moilanen who killed his 35 year old wife Judy Blake Moilanen. Bruce almost got away with the murder and would have if it hadn't been for Sergeant Ball painstakingly gathering evidence against Bruce. This is an interesting read.
Better Sweater Letter February 17, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
`Twas the season, in this part of the world, where an army clad in Blaze Orange goes forth into the woods in search of Bambi and his family and friends. Not a combatant, Judy Blake Moilanen wore black and fuchsia while going for a stroll with her dogs in the Northwoods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula during the 1992 season. The dogs came back. Judy would not come out alive. It looked like another hunting accident of the Cheney "Shoot Anything That Moves and Ask Questions Later" variety. But was this really an accident? Or was her now-widowed husband going to get away with a perfect crime that only looked like an accident, and live happily ever after with all the doubly indemnified life insurance proceeds on his overly-insured wife?
This mass market paperback is a "do-over" of the authors' "Sweater Letter" (trade paperback 2002). The good news is that there are pictures now. This reviewer is a frequent consumer of the genre and oft states that readers want/need to SEE the principals, locale and crime scene. I am just happier than a Bambi who escaped the headlights to see that we can now see them. The bad news is that, except for updated updates in the Epilogue, the text appears to be unchanged. So, still missing are the cogent, coherent background biographies of the principals found in the caliber of Rule, Olsen, Olsen and Pence. It is suggested to aspiring writers in the genre that if you are going to introduce a cast of thousands, or even a cast of many, please incorporate an index at the end so the reader is not head-scratching "Where have I heard this name before?" or having to add further details to the chart/bookmark described below.
The beginning of this book is a mess, and may dishearten the casual reader who doesn't want to have to create an identity chart/bookmark just to slog on through. Perseverance pays off, as the writing does smooth down and the tale it tells becomes a riveting read. All things considered,and my fondness for the region, I say 4 stars.
So, was it Open Season on Judy? Read this version and see!
