This is a good book about one of the most sensational murder cases in Hawaii's modern history- one that took years to unravel. It started out as a flawless book. It got a bit tedious during the trial phase. Liars testifying about other liars for years and years.

A very organized and well-written book About a beautiful young woman who is brutally raped and murdered on Christmas Eve in Hawaii. It took 9 years to solve this horrible crime. I think the Author did a good job of telling this story.

Quiet, nice girl tragically raped and left for dead, and later she does die. Emergency response was poor. Original investigation was poor. Then... dun dun dun... it picks up and it all seems like an episode of CrimeTV on the television.
