Helpful Score: 4

This was written by Scott Peterson's half-sister Anne. The title is rather weak, in my opinion (why not 35, 49, 72? why stop at 33?)-- but once you begin reading, it bears great similarity in tone and truthtelling to the Ablow book (Inside The Mind of Scott Peterson). It's even sadder, though, because Anne herself had to bear some of the cruel consequences because of the choices her blood parents made. So she does speak with the 'Voice of Experience'. However, she was not subject to all the things that Scott was, and she was raised by loving adoptive parents. These things made the difference for Anne, and between her life and Scott's life. When she finds and meets her first family, (including Scott) these differences are at first startling, and then troubling, and finally horrifying. This book is helpful to read from the standpoint of an actual Patterson family member, and gives the insight that only a family member can provide concerning Scott and his actions (and lack of same) toward Lacy and Conner.
