Charles Manson has been a frightening iconic figure for decades. He and his gang changed the cultural landscape with their horrific murders. While we were aware of victim actress Sharon Tate, we really knoe little about her until now. This novel provides an in-depth view of her struggles, dreams and ambition. This is a well written book that provides not only a glimpse into a victims life but also a historical perspective of a very turbulent time.

Sharon Tate was a beautiful, funny actress, cut down in the prime of her life and her career. "Sharon Tate and the Manson Murders" by Greg King is much more than another 'Manson' book. While the tragic murders are discussed, this book explores the life of Sharon Tate and the other victims. This is so much more than a sensational true crime story, this is the story of the lives lost by maniacs.
