About this ebook
"Benson is a master of true crime." --Robert Scott
Deadly Dreams
Joyce Wishart was living out her life's dream, running her own art gallery in sunny Sarasota, Florida. But that dream ended in nightmare when a deranged drifter named Elton Brutus Murphy walked through the door with a knife in his hand and a voice in his head commanding him to rape and kill. In the space of half an hour, Joyce was dead--brutally mutilated--and the tony arts enclave plunged into terror as a frenzied manhunt ensued. Told in the convicted murderer's own words, a chilling tale of one life spiraling into madness--and another gruesomely cut short.
"Difficult to put down. . .. This is one that I highly recommend." --True Crime Book Reviews on Watch Mommy Die
"Brisk pacing. . .shocking details." --Publishers Weekly on The Burn Farm
Includes the exclusive confession of Elton Brutus Murphy

OK but bit long winded and seems to take too long to tell the story. Would have liked a bit more than just a few pages of the actual trials as well. Interviews with Murphy in jail are fine but not the main focus of the story, or at least they shouldn't be. Still not the worst true crime book I have read either so that is a positive.
