Bestselling true crime author John Glatt reconstructs the rise of the prestigious Murdaugh family and the shocking double murder that led to the downfall of its patriarch, Alex Murdaugh.
What The Reviewers Say
Now, if the conclusion of the trial has left us with some time on our hands, if we find ourselves missing the company of Big Red and Fast Eddie, Buster and Bubba, maybe Tangled Vines is just what we need.
With the flurry of recent coverage, including Netflix and Dateline documentaries, readers will be swept up in this account of the circumstances that enabled such tragedies..
The so-called 'Murdaugh Murders' have spawned a virtual cottage industry of content, from podcasts to a Netflix docuseries, and it’s hard to see what Glatt, though he capably catalogs all the relevant events, offers that’s unique. Ultimately, the narrative feels like a book-length Wikipedia article. An exhaustive, uninspired work of true crime..
...an exemplary work of true crime.
