The New York Times – Janet Maslin: After Etan is a complex, many-tentacled account of just how tantalizingly close Mr. Ramos has come to incriminating himself in the Patz case and just how tirelessly he has tormented prosecutors, who have said they do not have enough evidence to charge him. In a book loaded with evidence of Mr. Ramos's pedophilia, his attraction to Etan, knowledge of the Patz family and capacity to dispose of a child-size body, Ms. Cohen makes a persuasive case that Mr. Ramos was involved. But her emphasis is less on his actions than it is on the winding, obstacle-strewn path to justice. She tells a story that is stranger than crime fiction and messier too.
