First off, I never read true crime. Second, I have only read a limited number of memoirs. That said, this book took me by surprise and sucked me in. I had a hard time putting it down and when I finished the last sentence, I actually said "wow" out loud. The fact it is written by a relative of the victims makes it all the more heartbreaking. I would recommend this one.

Extremely well written, and so shocking, it's hard to believe it's true.

A well written account of a horrifc murder of 2 sisters in St. Louis, Missouri. I remember all the stories in the St. Louis newspaper and this was a real eye opener about the actual events.

I had been wanting to read this for a long time, now I have. Happily the account of the crime wasn't as graphic as some accounts, but of course this was written by a family member of the victims. A shocking and gripping story.
