I do hope you're talking about Blood and Money by Tommy Thompson. That's one of the best reads you will ever see. It set the standard by which all other true-crime docu-books are still measured today.

Forget that trash by Ann Kurth. It's garbage. Which is precisely why Hollywood chose it for a TV movie.

Definately! Blood & Money was amazing, such detail, so articulate. I remember watching the movie, then reading Blood & Money, it was years later I read the Kurth book. I always wanted to go by the 'John Hill House', and always thought it was on River Oaks (there is a house that looked a lot like it on River Oaks, before San Felipe), I would always drive by on our way to Chuys.

The actual house, when you are there is kind of creepy, knowing all what went down.

Great thread to whoever started this! I'm going to have to re-read B&M now!

No problem! I am 40, so I don't remember any of this when it happened. I did see the movie and read both books after that. It's a fascinating story.

Reading the thread, I do think the Halloween costumes were a bit over the top .... There was a little grey kitty cat that came out while we were taking pictures, I couldn't help but think how odd, that it was grey, just like the horse.

I wish the weather had been better.

Anyway, enjoy the pics
