This is a book from my guilty pleasure genre: true crime. It was a random pick from my work library (as it usually is). While there are many things unique to the case of Eric Napoletano, I’m not sure it’s the most interesting True Crime I’ve ever read. Napoletano had a close relationship with his mother, Carolyn.
