The first picture included says it all: there's Junger as a baby, held up by his mother, and behind them stands Albert DeSalvo, the self-confessed Boston Strangler who worked handyman detail at the Junger household. What follows is a wonderfully nuanced account of how one woman's murder in Belmont intersected with the Jungers, DeSalvo and Roy Smith (the man likely wrongfully convicted of the crime) that doesn't forcefeed conclusions upon the reader. My only quibble? I wish it had been longer because I didn't want to stop reading.
