This is a well written and riveting true story without any happy endings. I chose it out of prurient interest because I'm about to live in the community where at least one of the victims died, but found it to be a fascinating study of human interaction and a nail-biting thriller that I'd recommend to anyone with an interest in true detective stories and in the human condition. The moment I finished it my husband picked it up (his reading is usually confined to engineering texts) and he hasn't been able to put it down.

I really enjoyed that first part of the book, where I got to know the characters and grew to care about them. I didn't find the second and third parts as interesting. I felt that the book could have been about 100 pages shorter.
