This “superbly written true-crime story” (Michael Lewis, The New York Times Book Review) masterfully brings together the tales of a serial killer in 1970s Alabama and of Harper Lee, the beloved author of To Kill a Mockingbird, who tried to write his story.Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members, but with the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative assassinated him at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell’s murderer was acquitted—thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the reverend himself. Sitting in the audience during the vigilante’s trial was Harper Lee, who spent a year in town reporting on the Maxwell case and many more trying to finish the book she called The Reverend. Cep brings this remarkable story to life, from the horrifying murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South, while offering a deeply moving portrait of one of our most revered writers.

After writing the American classic “To Kill A Mockingbird”, Harper Lee spent years working on a non-fiction project (in the vein of her friend Truman Capote's “In Cold Blood”) about an Alabama preacher who murdered five members of his family over a span of seven years to collect insurance money. Lee's book never came to fruition but now, Caesy Cep, resurrects the bizarre tale as well as illuminates Harper Lee's cryptic life.The book is composed of three parts. Part One tells the story of Reverend Willie Maxwell, a charismatic but vilified preacher who was rumored to practice voodoo. After a string of family deaths, in which all the victims were covered by life insurance polices that benefited Maxwell, he is shot dead by another family member at the funeral of his last victim. Part Two covers Tom Radney, the lawyer who first defended Maxwell when he was accused of killing his first wife and went on to successfully defend the man who killed Maxwell. Part Three brings in Harper Lee, who was fascinated by the case and spent years researching it.The writing is brilliant. The first chapter, which describes the region of south Alabama where the events took place, is evocative and rich. I lived in Alabama for most of my life and was impressed that a non-Southerner captured both the geography of place as well as highlighting so vividly the oppressed attitudes and politics of the state. Occasionally the author lost my interest, such as when she gives a world history of life insurance or the section on Radney, who is a great character in the book but unless you enjoy courtroom recreations, it is a bit of a yawn.The book rebounds, however, in the last section which covers the life of Harper Lee. Apparently, the author had access to Lee's private letters which she quotes frequently. Lee's childhood, family life, education, college years, and her move to New York City where she eventually wrote “Mockingbird” is wonderfully detailed and provides great insight into her later years when she struggled to produce a follow-up.Lee's friendship with Capote is also extensively discussed as well as her stint working with him to gather research for his masterpiece “In Cold Blood”. On Capote, the author writes “most of the people of Garden City (Kansas) had no idea what to make of the orchid that had suddenly invaded their wheat fields”.A fascinating, beautifully written and skillfully researched book that brings to light one of the most bizarre cases in American history.
