Erica or BJ - which one was crazier? Tough call. The husband and wife fueled by constant drug use and sick obessions decide its time to kill someone and they find their victims after a night of partying in a beach town on a holiday weekend. I don't want to give away too much of the book, but I do recommend "Cruel Death" for those that like true crime.

This book started out a little slow, focusing too much attention on Erika's hometown basketball career, but boy did it pick up after she finished college and married BJ .... couldn't put it down after that .... one of the most bizarre true crime books I've ever read.
Well written, tragic story.
I love true crime and this was one of the worst crimes that I have ever read about. As far as I am concerned both of these creeps are guilty as hell and should never see the light of day.

M. Williams Phelps is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite true crime writers. He has a way of making you care about the story he is telling ...he never bores me and he makes me care about the victims...which some true crime writers seem to have a problem with...they seem to care more about the telling of the perpetrator instead of the innocent ones.
