Viewers were outraged, and hundreds of thousands demanded a pardon for Avery. The chief villain of the series? Ken Kratz, the special prosecutor who headed the investigation and trial. Kratz’s later misdeedsprescription drug abuse and sexual harassmentonly cemented belief in his corruption.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Ok but lots of lies and distortions by a biased writer
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Is zero stars an option? This book is self righteous, whiny and excuse- filled. It offers no real insights into the Steven Avery case, just bitterness. After watching Making a Murderer I was hoping to learn the other side of the story. All I got was a childish rant.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Ken Kratz is the most biased, morally reprehensible person I have ever heard open their mouth. Disappointing that he chooses to inflict pain after all this time. Boooooo

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book shows the other side of the popular Netflix's documentary "Making a Murderer" by the hand of the special fiscal of the case Ken Ktatz. Even if after reading the book someone still could habe doubts about Steven Avery guilty ots hard to avoid the fact that the producers of the documetary were very crooked for avoiding very important things about the trial. In few words, totally recomended as complementary info for those MaM fans.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent! After watching Making a Murderer which is albeit interesting, but so obviously biased toward believing Avery is innocent, It’s nice to have a voice of reason in Kratz bringing us back to reality.
