Murder of a lawyer - true crime at its detailed best.
James Campbell, well-liked Texas attorney, and Virginia Campbell, his paralegal wife, are found shot to death in the bedroom of their Houston home. The most likely suspects are the victims' youngest daughter Cindy and her ex-Marine boyfriend, David West. But Cindy and David have an alibi the police can't crack.
And then David falls in love with a sexy ex-stripper turned private investigator. She coaxes a confession from him that explodes into national news.

DADDY'S GIRL The Campbell Murder Case A Saga of Texas Justice eBook Clifford Irving
While the case is interesting, I thought the author was too self-serving and overstated his importance throughout the trials. He has been proven to be a dishonest author in the past and doesn't always seem credible in this book. His revelations from an "anonymous donor" would be impossible for that person to personally know, as he or she was obviously not there when the incidents took place, but they are presented as fact. I don't agree with some of his conclusions or the slant of the presentation, but beyond that, I just don't like the author much. There are better books about this case, and far better books in the genre.As to the outcome of the trials, I believe justice was ultimately served and those convicted were guilty.

DADDY'S GIRL The Campbell Murder Case A Saga of Texas Justice eBook Clifford Irving Reviews
This book, and the story, are way too drawn out. We have a true story involving murder, and suspense, yes. Irving's writing is, and always will be, great. I love the way he writes. But we are also given multiple trials. While they are necessary for the development of the outcome....all the observations and comments are too much. A great story, but too much detail.....and I found it tiresome, I am sorry to say.
The only thing that kept me turning the pages in this book was the final outcome of the Court case. There was a lot of superfluous writing in this book. I don't care if the sky is blue or what people had for lunch. I want the facts. This story went on and on and on with side stories which did not have to be in the book. It was probably three times longer than was necessary. I guess the author thought he was being paid by the page. I really wanted to go and google the story to find out the ending so that I wouldn't have to read all of the unnecessary details. If you like this type of book be my guest and read it. The story needed to be told but it could have been told in a more concise manner.
I didn't hate the book, but didn't much care for it, either. It's definitely one I wouldn't read again. Unfortunately, while this could have been a great read, Irving added needless details and repeated them, making it difficult to want to continue reading to the end. Towards the end of the book, I found myself skimming the remainder and after finally finishing it, it left the feeling that maybe this author was playing both sides to get information for his book. It also left the feeling that perhaps this author thought he was the jury.
A diligent effort in giving the reader the whole story of this mind boggling case! Excellent portrayal of the trial that will keep you turning the pages wanting more and more. Irving does not disappoint in this engrossing true crime story of a daughter with an evil heart.
I don't usually review books, but this was the most boring book I have read in a long time. The story was probably interesting, but all the court room stuff was terrible, no one cares about picking a jury & how would the author know what the attorneys are thinking. After finishing that section, I was confused about which attorney was which & you really want me to believe that the author went to lunch with the prosecutor, the defense & the judge . As other have said, the book would have been much better if he had just stuck to telling the story & not added his impressions & opinions. Doubt I will read another book of this author.
Clifford Irving continues to be his own worst enemy. Not quite able to live down his infamous Howard Hughes hoax, Irving has to work very hard to re-gain his audience's trust. Might I suggest commenting on what should be a reportage of facts, centering himself smack-dab at the core of his tale, writing adolescent and churlish descriptions of women he deems not proportioned correctly-- that is fat, would not be the way to accomplish that.
When Irving can move himself out of his way, we can see why readers buy his books. Some of the writing is smooth, powerful, and unsustainable.
And this tale is nothing short of Southern Gothic.
However, even at the low price of 2.99 it is simply not worth the effort.
And what is up with the use of the * as in s*x-i kid you not. That and the ice replaced with an apostrophe in the F word. When was this published? On top of everything else this was extremely distracting. And, yeah full-time.
I kept wondering what Queen Ann would have done with this material.
Skip it.
I don't know who said this read like a novel - it did not. It was a total snooze. There was no real new information and the information provided was boring. I was not impressed that the writer knew Shakespeare and really didn't care that he did. It added nothing to the story. I really surprised this book was rated so highly. It was a horrible story the fact that the writer didn't tell the story so that it was interesting just made it that much more horrible.
While the case is interesting, I thought the author was too self-serving and overstated his importance throughout the trials. He has been proven to be a dishonest author in the past and doesn't always seem credible in this book. His revelations from an "anonymous donor" would be impossible for that person to personally know, as he or she was obviously not there when the incidents took place, but they are presented as fact. I don't agree with some of his conclusions or the slant of the presentation, but beyond that, I just don't like the author much.
