I just ordered this book on Amazon. I know that it is controversial. Before I read it I'd like opinions on it. Is it all a bunch of BS? Any insight welcome. Thanks.

Also there is another book called "Speed Kills: Who killed the Cigarette Boat King, the fastest man on the seas?". Is that book any good? Again, all opinions welcome.

They are all good reads, and yes, some excitement is added to keep the readers engaged....just read between the lines and enjoy.
Most know who really did it and why, but many have overlooked the obvious.
Enjoy.

There WAS a conviction and a recent thread here that he may make parole.

Nobody was ever convicted for the murder.

I recently read "Speed Kills", I couldn't put the book down. There is a lot of info in the book, but the main players in the end are the same as always.

"Nearly a decade later, two men pled no contest to charges related to Aronow's killing.[3] In 1995, career criminal Bobby Young admitted to shooting Aronow and pled no contest to second degree murder, eventually providing a full confession in 2009 shortly before his death.[3] Ben Kramer, winner of the 1986 American Power Boat Association Offshore Championship, pled no contest to manslaughter in 1996.[3][4][5] Kramer had a business dispute with Aronow after buying the latter's USA Racing Team but was forced to sell it back to Aronow after the Customs Service refused to do business with him.[3] Kramer was already in prison on a life sentence with no possibility of parole following 1988 and 1989 convictions for drug smuggling and gun charges, as well as receiving a 1990 conviction for a failed escape attempt by helicopter from a federal prison near Miami."

Isn't a no contest plea or a confession the same thing?

I've got a documentary called "thunder man ". Has Ben on phone interview from prison... the part I remember was him saying "people want to be a part of something, they talk about Don, they just did business with him. He didn't even like you... Me, I was with the man 6-7 days a week."

I see that everyday. People are nosey and want to speculate about everything, and they usually don't know enough truth for a paragraph.

Just my $.02.
