Killing the Kingfish

I saw the author did a book signing in Winnfield at LA Political HOF. I was wondering if anybody had read this yet.

There was a thread on here a couple of weeks ago about the HPL assassination. This book was talked about. I haven’t read it yet but it is next on my list.

I was about to purchase and then I see that it is 728 pages. Why does most historical nonfiction have to be so unnecessarily lengthy? RPW's All The King's Men (which won The Pulitzer in 1947) is too long at 672 pages and it is a fictional story.
I'm interested in the topic, but not 728 pages interested. Somehow I highly doubt that Mr. McGuire posseses the same literary genius in his prose as Robert Penn Warren. Contemporary Historical Nonfiction could use a few good editors.

So was Dr. Weiss angry about his father-in-law being gerrymandered out of his judgeship or was Huey banging his wife?

I doubt that Huey was banging the daughter of the judge he was trying to gerrymander out of office. If so, he must have been a dissatisfied customer.

That was very common speculation among the people who actually remembered those days.

Speaking of The Kingfish, has anyone read John Kingston Fineran's The Career of A Tinpot Napoleon? Just picked it up.
