This was an interesting story. However I felt it was poorly organized. It takes the reader forward and backward repeatedly.

This is a well written book and I enjoyed it very much. It goes into the depth of the circumstances and I always enjoy that. Do people actually "break" or are they just psycho-paths with an excuse.......
I recommend it!!

I am a fan of the true crime genre, and in that sense liked the book but the writing is a bit scattered and some of the information was confusing, i.e. a name would pop up in the book without any explanation of who it was.
