This is the true account of a really fascinating story of four teenage girls who murder another twelve year old girl. Quoting a statement in the book by Mike Walro, "Stephen King couldn't come up with a plot like this." These girls were from extremely dysfunctional families. The characters are unbelievably evil. A problem with the book I had was that it goes back and forth so much from the present to the murder. The people were hard to keep straight: Melinda/Melissa, Amanda/Shanda, etc. Worth reading if you like true crime and can stomach descriptions of domestic violence.
