Today, both Good Morning America and The Leonard Lopate Showlistened to Rosanne Cash, firstborn to country music legend Johnny Cash, whose memoir Composed (Viking, 978-0670021963, $26.95) pubs today. From PW ’s starred review: “This work is a rare treat, as Cash is not only a hereditary celebrity musician, but a terrific writer in her own right. Indeed, her memoir is an intensely reflective, carefully hewn chronicle of her coming-into-her-own as a writer.”

PW thought “Despite Capuzzo's obvious reverence for the crime fighters he profiles, his account of the formation of the legendary Vidocq Society is as scattered as many of the cold case files they wade through.”
