5 comments about There But For the Grace of God: Survivors of the 20th Century's Infamous Serial Killers.

1. I really enjoyed this book and I could tell that the author was passionate about his topic. I am a former CSI so it was very nice to read about the victims who do live. I have seen so many dead bodies that it was nice to see what came about of those who got a second chance. I also enjoyed the background on the cases. I am from Pensacola where Ted Bundy was (finally) caught and one of my dad's Police Academy students (David Lee) was the one who brought Bundy down. It was an easy read with a lot- while not overwhelming or boring- of background info on the cases. I would definitely recommend this book to any true crime fan who wants to read something just a little bit different.



2. The descriptions of the killings are very intenese and too vivid for someone of my character. I stopped reading the book in the second chapter because the graphic details of the murder of children left nothing for the imagination and proved to be too much for me to handle. I cannot attest to the entire book simply because I didn't want to subject my mind to those images. Not my cup of tea.



3. There but for the Grace of God are stories about survivors of the last century's most infamous serial killers like Tracy Edwards who survived Jeffrey Dahmer who was later arrested and confessed to the most horrific crimes in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There is Kevin Bright who barely survived BTK Killer Dennis Rader who went undetected for 30 years since his sister Kathy's brutal rape and murder in Kansas. His story was the most heartbreaking. Nita Neary survived Ted Bundy because she maintained her silence during the massacre at the sorority house in Florida. She moved on with her life but recalls testifying against Bundy who also cross-examined her as well. There were survivors of Derrick Lee, the Baton Rouge serial killer, and Bobby Joe Long who killed in Hillsborough COunty, Florida. I thought it was a fast read and interesting. The author tried to fill in the gaps and explanations of each serial killer and the people who survived the attacks. He also writes about the Filipino nurse, Corazon Amaureo who got away by hiding under the bed from Richard Speck in the Crime of the Century while 8 nurses were raped and murdered in one night. Although he didn't get to interview her, her story is important even if it is through research. Rosen tries to provide biographies and backgrounds on the killers' themselves.



4. I was very sxicted to read this book. I was sadly very dissapointed that i read it. First numerous spelling errors. Many factual errors as well. The Bundy chapter was an insult. The author did very little in acutally writing any informaion on the survivors, it was more just a quik recap of certain serial killers. He aslo used this as an oppurtunity to bash the police officers on many cases. Funny how he can so easily point out the mistakes after the fact. He makes it seem as if he would have easily figured out things that they couldnt..... again after the fact. He aslo seems to make certain victims out to be people who did things the wrong way, and could have avoided their fate.
   The spelling errors are plenty to. At one point he refers to KAKA t.v., wich is wrong. Then later he correctly calls it KAKE t.v.. Written in bold lettering it stood out, and there should be no reason for the spelling error to have not been noticed.
   I bought this book hoping to learn about certain people who were lucky to ahve survived their attacker, expecially Nita Neary, and i got nothing. He did very little if any informationa bout them, and instead made it seem like he was doing them the favor of including them in his book at all.
   THe author is very arrogant, and seems to be very proud of himself. Sadly he has nothing to be proud of and should instead feel embarassed.



5. Mr.Rosen does some good things with this book. He highlights the lives of some survivors of serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer,Dennis Rader,David Berkowitz and even Richard Speck.
   The question of why some survive while others don't is an interesting one. He partially addresses that question.
   
   The writer vents a lot of anger at criminal profilers in the B.T.K. case and the NYPD in general regarding the "Son of Sam" case. I think it's a detriment to the book itself and in some cases he overstates the obvious, like the fact that Richard Speck was a drunk and an idiot,and two Milwaukeee police officers blundered big-time in returning an eventual victim to Dahmer.
   
   I didn't see the relevance of including transcripts of Dahmer's parents court battle over his brain and whether it would be donated to science or cremated. Speaking of cremation,what happened to Richard Speck in prison or to his body after death wasn't relevant to the subject either.
   
   Good subject matter, it's just that the author roamed unto other areas a little too much for my liking.

5 comments about Shattered Sense of Innocence: The 1955 Murders of Three Chicago Children (Elmer H Johnson & Carol Holmes Johnson Series in Criminology).

1. I bought this book as a gift for my husband. He saw a write-up about it in the newspaper and wanted the book. We were kids ourselves when these murders happened. The price charged on Amazon was about 33% less than the book store and it arrived in less time than indicated. My husband has read the book and now my daughter is reading it. Highly recommend.



2. I found this book to be very interesting as I was a kid in that time. I remember the murder case very well as I know a lot of the places they stopped at and where they lived.



3. This book completely held my interest and that of several friends who read it at the same approximate time. We spent hours discussing it. After fifty plus years, the triple homicide described in "Shattered Sense of Innocence: the 1955 Murders of Three Chicago Children" is still chilling and disturbing. The book established a strong sense of time and place. The authors succeeded in recreating the fear and dread that gripped an entire community that will bother you long after you have finished reading. These things were not supposed to happen here, not in a quiet residential district bordering upon the suburbs.
   
   As a person who drives through the Jefferson Park/Norwood Park area of Chicago on a regular basis, it is impossible for me to pass certain intersections now without thinking of the three victims: that was the location of the police station where their parents looked for help; that was the bowling alley the boys visited; the three youths were last seen on that corner before accepting a ride from a passing vehicle.
   
   Portions of the immediate neighborhood are largely unchanged. The former police station on Gale Street is still standing, but it houses other city offices today as a newer and larger police headquarters has replaced it. The forest preserve opposite East River Road where the three naked bodies were discovered still draws stares from passing motorists who can remember the banner headlines and the startlingly graphic images broadcast on local television during the nightly news (the book contains these photo images). Some older adults can recall being kept inside their homes for several days by parents who were afraid to allow their children to play outside until the unknown criminals were arrested by the police.
   
   The initial police investigation was badly botched by the political hacks competing for jurisdiction over the crime scene. The murderer and his accomplices took care to dispose of the bodies in a location where multiple agencies and officials could quarrel over who was in charge of the investigation. For decades afterwards, the murders would remain unsolved. The determined efforts of an arson investigator seeking to determine who the culprits were in a series of fires at various riding stables set in motion the revival of the murder inquiry decades later and resulted in the controversial trial of the one the surviving suspect.
   
   The book contains some conjecture as to what transpired on that fatal night. Some facts can only be guessed at, but the authors review several theories and offer plausible interpretations of the possible chain of events. The actions of several of the now deceased accomplices can only be imagined.
   
   Be forewarned, this is not a pleasant book to read nor will it be easily forgotten once you have finished it. Readers will be introduced to sexual predators, petty thieves and pornographers who gather in amusement parks and recreation halls where children and teenagers loiter. There is danger to be found near the merry go round and the pony rides. Some of the smiling monsters walk amongst us in the bright sunshine, dressed in casual clothing and projecting a false facade of friendliness and respectability. The unspeakable evil committed in 1955 continues to reverberate today. I cannot begin to imagine how many lives were damaged by the accomplices and the perpetrators of these three murders.



4. I typically avoid books where the only reviews on the dust jacket come from other authors (as opposed to newspaper and magazine critics whose reputations are on the line) and certainly wish I had followed my instincts with this one. "Shattered Sense of Innocence" is an incredibly long, detailed, confusing and, above all, boring ramble about the killing of three boys in 1955 Chicago that is much better recounted in "Unbridled Rage"--a book that, interestingly, the authors do not cite as source material. "Shattered" lacks continuity and focus and I found it all but impossible to stay interested. The authors apparently dedicated their efforts to ensuring that every single fact they unearthed, no matter how esoteric, found its way into the narrative and this makes for a book that reads more like a droll textbook (hence the publisher, I suppose) than what should be an interesting "true crime" work. In addition, their constant harping on "innocence" (as in neighborhoods and 1950s Chicago) was something that I found to be very irritating--in fact, the book should have been titled "Shattered Sense of Security" because it was the sense of security that these neighborhoods lost, not innocence. One of the "reviews" on the cover calls this "the new 'In Cold Blood'"--that could only have been written by (a) a friend, (b) a family member, or (c) someone who never read Capote's classic. If you're interested in this case, pick up "Unbridled Rage"--it's much better written, more succinct, and you can actually understand the flow of events. With only 40 pages left to go, I couldn't take this one any more and tossed it in the trash. $29.95 down the drain, but the loss of the jack was less painful than continuing this punishing read.



5. I am the co-author of "Shattered Sense of Innocence," one of 12 books I have authored dealing with compelling Chicago subject matter. I am not in the habit of responding to editorial reviews by the readers of my books. I am always grateful to them for the time they have taken to comment on my work - for good or bad. Legitimate, objective commentary, offered without bias or self-serving motive is what this process should be all about. However in recent years I have regrettably observed an ominous trend developing in the AMAZON review process. Too many reviews are being posted by the friends and relatives of authors - and in some cases the friends and relatives of authors of competing works who take a personal delight in "slamming" the work of the first author for whatever spurious motivation, usually based in envy or disappointment. "Shattered Sense of Innocence" has received outstanding reviews from the Chicago Sun-Times and other publications, and the highest testimonial from Vincent Bugliosi, author of "Helter Skelter," one of the finest true crime books ever published. I wish more authors would have the courage to speak out on this issue when a book is slandered by a reviewer with an axe to grind, a personal motivation or simply has been encouraged to do so by a frustrated or disppointed competitor. Thank you for allowing me to make this statement - with the hope of seeing a greater level of professionalism, integrity and ethical standards practiced by the contributors and reviewers to AMAZON.

3 comments about The Mother's Day Murder (St. Martin's True Crime Library).

1. I found this book to be fairly interesting. Once again it is all about greed and money. I feel the writer could have gone into a little more depth, but all in all a good read.



2. Living in Augusta I particularly enjoyed this book, which does a good job of summarizing the relevant aspects of the city.



3. This book is your typical true crime fare. Gina Spann wants her husband out of the way so she can collect his life insurance. She gets young impressionable men to do the crime for her. Although it's an interesting story, it's not one of my personal favorites by this author but it's worth reading anyway.

5 comments about Shattered Bonds.

1. I HAD A HARD TIME PUTTING THIS BOOK DOWN. CINDY IS QUITE A GIRL! TRUE CRIME READERS, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. I WOULD GIVE IT 4 1/2 STARS IF I COULD.



2. I read a lot of true crime books and did not find a lot of this book to be believable at all. First of all a psych hospital would of never just admit Cindy when just showing up at the hospital like she did!! I also do not believe the treatment that she was goiven while at the hospital,since I did work for 13 years at a psych facility and never once heard of or witnessed anything like this.
   Also AI do not believe her father would of admitted to his guilt the way she said it happened.
   I do believe that her father murdered her mother which is very tragic. I just feel that a lot of the story is not truth and only Cindys version. Which you can tell by the reading of the book that she is not very believable. THe authors did do a good job, but should of verified more of the TRUE facts of the story by other.



3. This book is not very believable at all. THere is to much that does not ring true!



4. The actual murder case seemed interesting, but I just couldn't get very far in this book because the writing was SO BAD! There were endless amounts of dialogue that were just in no way shape or form how actual people speak. It jars you right out of the story when the people in the novel spout stupid nonsense that rings amazingly false. I would like to read about this case in a book written by someone else, someone that leaves out all the useless and stupid yet copious amounts of dialogue.



5. Cindy Ruth Band had everything that she could have possibly imagined, a loving mother and beautiful home in Long Island. Then one August night in the early 1980s, it call came crashing down on her. Her mother's dead body remained at the foot of the basement stairs. Then her father's secret life unraveled about his long-term love affair with widowed socialite and travel agent, Elizabeth Diamond, and Cindy's image of her own family life was completely shattered by lies and deceit by her own father who wanted to have a new life with a new wife. Sadly, Cindy would be tormented and began to deal with the constant torture of her father's abuse, physical and psychological. Cindy was very close with her mother, Florence Shaffer Band, and her death devastated her. In fact, her mother was murdered by her own father. Cindy's life did not go happily after that because of her mother's death. She was heartbroken over the loss and when she tried to recover in Greenwich, Connecticut with other family members then her father brought her home to a house of horrors. Liz became both friend and foe and it isn't until her father's deathbed confession in prison that she learns of Liz's involvement in both her husband and her mother's death. Her father became a murderer twice. Cindy did the unthinkable and forgave him for his crimes even though he tried to kill her and institutionalize in a mental hospital against her will as a trick to discredit her testimony. Cindy's life was never the same and she speaks about the crimes that affected her. I'm sure that she would have been able to tolerate a perfect stranger killing her mother than her own father.

2 comments about Murder by the Bay : Historic Homicide in and about the City of San Francisco.

1. Adams has done it again! His Murder by the Bay joins Great Rouges of San Francisco and Heros of the Golden Gate to complete his trilogy on colorful San Franisco history. A really good read.



2. Murder has a long history in San Francisco; and not just ordinary murder, either. The murders featured in Murder By The Bay: Historic Homicide In And About The City Of San Francisco involve politicians, colorful social figures, and even movie comedians. Chapters cover some of the biggest murders the city has experienced with an eye to exploring how these murders changed city policies and culture. From the Montgomery Street killing of a newspaper editor in 1956 to the trial of Dan White, former city supervisor who killed the mayor in more recent times, Murder By The Bay is a lively expose.

3 comments about Deadly Pursuit (Stackpole Crime Library).

1. I have read the library copy of this book at least 10 times and am thrilled to have the chance to own my own copy. Mr. Cox captured the terror that gripped this small community so dramatically. I was in ninth grade when the kidnapping occurred and lived in a small town about 35 minutes away. No one will ever forget the way this horror captivated every person in the area. My uncle was the helicopter pilot flying forest fire patrol that was forced to fly FBI agents across the mountainside searching for the kidnapper and his victim. I quarantee that once you start to read this book, you will not put it down until you have finished it. And, oh yes, you will leave the porch light on all night for awhile. For anyone interested in true stories, this is a MUST read!



2. When I picked up this book and began to read it, memories flooded back. This was written with such clarity, accuracy, empathy, truthfulness, heart-felt knowledge of the subject he was writing about. It was written in such a manner as to put you right there in the midst of the actions, from beginning to end. It made you feel the pain and anguish of all the terror that the people involved felt. No one can truthfully understand terror unless it has been experienced. Robert Cox with the written word and Ken Pieffer with his pictures in the newspaper made this book all the more read worthy. If anyone wants to be truly frightened read this book; then make sure that you check all of your windows and doors at night if you are alone.I live about 12 miles straight across the mountain from where this happened, and I remember how scared everyone was during this ordeal. this book brought it all flooding back.



3. This is a very good book. These events actually happened before I was born, but I was raised in Shade Gap and knew a lot of the people these things happened to. My grandfather's sister was attacked by the mountain man (or Bicycle Pete as he was called in the area). I LOVE this book and would definately recommend it to anyone who is interested in local history.

4 comments about The Informant: The FBI, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Murder of Viola Liuzzo.

1. Gary May brilliantly tells the story of the murder of civil rights activist Viola Liuzzo on March 25, 1965, and exposes the violent misdeeds of KKK members, who mostly considered themselves to be doing "God's work" when they harrassed, beat, and murdered blacks as well as white citizens who were unfortunate enough to get in the way. The career of the self-centered, attention hungry, redneck informant Gary Thomas Rowe is skillfully retraced, and the ineptitude and negligence of FBI agents and the organization as a whole are exposed. The copy I have is an "advance uncorrected page proof" (review copy) and has frequent spelling and punctuation errors; thus the four star rating. Otherwise, I would have given this book a full five stars, because it is excellent.



2. Forty years ago, a civil rights movement grew in the south that was opposed by white supremacists who thought blacks should not have equal opportunities in shopping, dining, transportation, and education, and who were ready to use violence to maintain segregation. The murder in Alabama of white civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo on 25 March 1965 got the immediate attention of the nation, and of President Johnson, who was proud to be able to tell the nation twenty-four hours later that the murderers had been caught. It was a killing by Klansmen, but not one of those that went unsolved for decades. The only reason the murderers were caught so quickly is that with them was an informant, the FBI's man who had infiltrated the Birmingham Klan branch and who reported the crime and the criminals immediately. Johnson was proud, J. Edgar Hoover was proud, and the informant, Gary Thomas Rowe, was a hero. The problem is that the story is far more confused and Rowe's heroism and the FBI's tactics are far more questionable than they seemed at the time. In _The Informant: The FBI, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Murder of Viola Liuzzo_ (Yale University Press), history professor Gary May has told an exciting story full of ambiguity and of criticism for the FBI, and has described a long-ago society which accepted that skin color was an individual's most important characteristic.
   
   Rowe was recruited by the FBI in 1960; he was a bartender, bouncer and machinist who accurately proclaimed himself a hell-raiser, and so he fit into the Klan. An informant has to act the role of a group member, and this means enthusiastically participating in what the group does, which Rowe did. He worked up the Klan hierarchy and did provide valuable information, but also he participated in brawls along with his fellow Klansmen. He was in the car with three other Klansmen after a Selma-Montgomery march. The shooting wounded a young black civil rights worker and killed the driver, the mercurial 39-year-old mother of five from Detroit, Viola Liuzzo. He was the main prosecution witness in the trial of the other three, but even so, they were eventually found innocent of murder, only being found guilty in federal court of civil rights violations. Rowe's role in the murder is not clearly that of a mere observer and informer. He may have tried to influence the others to call off the chase, but he may also have shot at the car himself, and thus may have been an accessory to the crime. The Liuzzo family was devastated and torn asunder by the murder, and although they had originally joined in the general approbation of Rowe as hero, two decades later they sued the government in a wrongful death lawsuit; the judge threw out the suit because, among other reasons, Rowe was in his estimation not violent or dangerous, but a model public servant. Rowe died in 1998, a bankrupt ne'er-do-well who blamed the FBI for not supporting him in the way he had expected.
   
   Liuzzo's story has been largely forgotten, although she was the only white female civil rights worker to be martyred during the days of demonstrations in the South. This is, however, Rowe's story, and it not only stands as a remarkable recreation of a tumultuous time, but is a cautionary tale for our own time. As May points out, Hoover to his shame used informants as pawns against Martin Luther King and against the movements opposing the Vietnam war, and the FBI has subsequently had its own thugs in the Mafia who were personally guilty of murder and robbery while getting FBI salaries. There are calls for more "human intelligence" in the actions against terrorists, but we should remember that it is not simply a matter of paying snitches. The costs of supporting informants who are supposed to be acting like miscreants, and may do a convincing job in their roles, may be incalculable, and the information gained by such ambiguous means may not be worth the resultant mistrust of government agencies.



3. Gary May is a talented storyteller and his account of what happened to Viola Liuzzo is riveting. I spent Christmas week with his book in hand, taking every opportune moment to continue learning about this young mother's quest to do something right about the civil rights movement and how she was partly the victim of Hoover's FBI. Often, I felt that I was traveling along with Liuzzo as May's tale unfolded - I felt I was in the car when she was murdered. Great book. Couldn't put it down.



4. Exhaustively researched and beautifully crafted, this book provides a much needed insight into the inherent flaws and complication posed by the FBI's informant system. It's historical -- in the sense of looking at historical events -- but it's also extremely relevant to the problems of today.

2 comments about My Boss was the BTK Killer... I was the Next Victim.

1. Having never heard of the BTK killer, I opened this book without any knowledge or pre-existing interest in the case. In fact, I didn't even know until partway through what the initials BTK stand for ("bind, torture, kill"). But "My Boss Was the BTK Killer" draws you in from the beginning and holds you til the end, in a quite unexpected way.
   
   Interspersed with Ms Capp's diary-like account of working with Dennis Rader, are transcripts of his confessions detailing the various murders. It's always repellent to hear a killer sound indifferent, or--more offensively--gloating about their atrocities with no apparent display of remorse, empathy or objectivity about what they've done. Of course, this is also what makes them fascinating. Like distillations of the predatorial instinct run amok, they are society's cancer gene--they get a signal from their brain instructing them to murder someone, and once they've completed the task, they think to themselves "I've done a good job today. Finally, I can sleep." In short, they are pure killing machines.
   
   Mary Capp's first hand account of working with the murderer for six and a half years is told in such an informal, talky way that at first I thought it would fail to create a suitably spooky atmosphere. Accounts of pleasure-killing, when detailed in books, are usually mounted in a language that elevates the sordid details into the prose of gothic fiction. This makes them go down easier--we feel less depraved for enjoying it. Ms Capp's narrative voice, however, is chatty and real--like a journal entry, or a transcript of a telephone conversation between friends. At times, her habit of lapsing into extrannea can be disconcerting--her constant references to Diet Pepsi, musing about the plastic wrappers on her cigarette packs, naming the guys she went to every high school dance with etc., all seem tangential and off the point. Isn't there a killer lurking?
   
   But as I read on, I realized that when evil people really ARE in your life, this is the way it is. All the banal things continue to happen around them, and their presence doesn't "enchant" the atmosphere. But then in private, when no one's watching, they morph from those everyday guises--a surly supervisor, in this case--into monsters that surpass our wildest nightmares. Only to return to their former, seemingly innocuous personas again the next day.
   
   Hence the most daunting aspect of this book; How evil hides inside the banality of everyday life, interwoven with the fabric of it so that you might miss it at first glance. You might even miss it if you're working for it, living with it or married to it, drinking your Diet Pepsis and fiddling with the cellophane wrap on your cigarettes. You might even miss it until it kills you.
   
   Consider "My Boss was the BTK Killer" your ticket to terror from the front lines. Eerie, chilling, unforgivable, unforgettable. But above all, consider it a warning. Evil hides in plain sight.



2. This book was one of the most poorly written and edited books I have ever read. It told me very little about Dennis Rader and a whole lot about Mary Capps. What I read of the book (about half)told me all about Mary's life, her kids and her growing up, with an occasional diatribe about Dennis Rader and how he ruined her life with a sentence that followed similar to "but more about that later." She supposedly attempts to tell her life story along a time line which runs with what BTK was reported to be doing at that particular time in her life, but goes off on too many rabbit trails. It certainly is not worth $14.00; in fact, in my opinion it isn't worth 50 cents.

5 comments about Overkill.

1. In my opinion, this was a very well written book.It was very interesting and thoughly detailed.I love the way Lyn Riddle got every minor detail possible to help visualize the Amish community and the love and support they showed for Laura's family.This is literally the only non-fiction book anyone has gotten me to read for school that I couldn't put down.Although I could have done without the pictures,I would recommend this book to anyone who cold handle this drawn out murder and trial.



2. I thought the book was overall a well wrirren account of a tragedy in today's society. Most importantly I was impressed with the style the author used that provided respect for the deceased of this case. This made me have more respect for the book because I think that in a true-crime book, it is of the utmost importance to maintain respect for the lives lost. Every single detail of the case was included in this novel but the reader still maintains interests. The characterization of the people involved creates a chilling sense of reality but also helps to understand motives of the people. After reading this book I developed a feeling of compassion for those who suffered. The novel is factual but also creates the desire to know who is truly to blame much like any fictional murder mystery.



3. I find this book was very sad and shocking. The motive of the killer (Michelle) was so less, she must be very disturbed and cruel and to kill Laurie just because she had date for 1 weeks and a couple of days her ex-boyfriend (who was her ex at that time) that so cruel and stupid. The killer have no mind and no heart. The death of Laurie was so cruel and Michelle to killed her just for a stupid thing like that it plain dumb and cruel, really why Michelle did a stupid thing like that it's unbeleivable! That was a good reading, if you like non-fiction crime story, it well write. It's a very shocking cruel story, the death of Laurie Show was a terrible thing who should not had happen!



4. This book was the best book i have ever read in a long-long time.i really injoyed the book alot .



5. I had seen the film "The Stalking of Laurie Show" an original USA picture first. After I was so stricken with curiousity that I bought the book,"Overkill" by Lyn Riddle. The book gives a true and very accurate account of this sad,senseless murder of a young woman who under any circumstances did not deserve to die. I believe Lisa Michelle Lambert murderd Laurie Show and didn't give it asecond thought. Somehow, Lisa Lambert directed her wrath at Laurie Show for a very immature and very unreasonable reason. Laurie had went out with Lisa's boyfriend Lawerence "Butch" Yunkin(who also had a part in Laurie's death as did Tabitha Buck) only a couple of times and on one of those occasions Lawerence had raped Laurie. However. Lisa Lambert ignored this fact and accused Laurie of being a seducer. Lisa began stalking Laurie Show and tried ruining her reputation along with a recently made friend, Tabitha Buck. The case ends in tragedy with Laurie being savagely murdered by Lisa Lambert. After the murder Lisa showed no remorse and denies any involvement in Laurie Show's death, she denies it til this day. Lyn riddle writes the whole compelling,TRUE story and gives great respect and sympathy to Laurie Show and that is very important when writing about any true crime case. I would definitely recommend this well written and extremely sensitive book to anyone who is interested in this sad and senseless case of deadly teenage jealousy.
