Story
Police found the body of 16-year-old Calyx on her bed under a white blanket. They found her 13-year-old brother Beau in the family car covered up the same way. Both had two gunshots to the head. Both had been dead for hours. The only other person who had been in the home was their mother, Julie Schenecker. She told law enforcement that she could no longer tolerate her kids talking back to her. Was this a case of premeditated murder? Or a horrible tragedy fueled by a mental illness that had spun out of control?

A Truly Riveting Tragedy

I finished this book in one sitting as I just couldn't stop listening. Diane Fanning is one of my favorite authors of True Crime. The story is fascinating and told in such a way that I felt I was part of the story. A must read, although the story is emotional at times, it is told with taste and consideration of the families involved. Dont miss this one for sure.

Story
The Final Days is the number-one New York Times best-selling, classic, behind-the-scenes account of Richard Nixon's dramatic last months as president. Moment by moment, Bernstein and Woodward portray the taut, post-Watergate White House as Nixon, his family, his staff, and many members of Congress strained desperately to prevent his inevitable resignation. This brilliant book reveals the ordeal of Nixon's fall from office - one of the gravest crises in presidential history.

Good details, but feels like slo-mo asphyxiation

Different Look
Reviewed: 01-30-19
This book gives a different perspective on those final days of the Nixon Presidency from the News coverage of the day. I found the reading of the book by Holter Graham to be very good. I ended the book having found Nixon to be a sad individual looking for constant approval. Great book and great presentation. If you love political history, this book is a must and listening to it after having read it many years ago, I came away with a different perspective on this period in our history.
