I thought there was a detailed discussion of this book somewhere on these boards but I can't, at the moment, locate it. Anyway, in my opinion, it's not getting enough chatter here. This is a well-written, well-researched piece on Tumblety. Mr Riordan writes gracefully, and clears up many misconceptions about the good "Doctor". If you haven't yet read this, I heartily recommend it.
