Helpful Score: 1

A heartbreaking account of the aftermath of murder. Cummins tells the story of the murder of her two cousins, the accusations against her own brother, and her family's free fall into grief, rage, terror, and helplessness.

Seeing how the police and media can be ruthless in the desire to name a suspect is incredibly depressing, and this book made me wonder why we so often forget the victims and their families and focus our attention and fascination on the murderers themselves.

Cummins clearly explains that this is her version of what happened and is careful not to weigh in on either side of the death penalty.
