Beverly H. (GainesvilleGirl) - reviewed on 1/5/2011 + 215 more book reviews

If you don't mind the fact that the writer seams to be a rank amateur when it comes to writing true crime stories, you'll want to read this just for the facts of the murder alone.
As a Floridian and one who had lived through the awfulness of the "Gainesville Murders" in my own town, I found this story of great interest to me. Especially since it connects in a strange way to this horrible crime. A lovely young wife and mother is brutally strangled to death, then robbed of not only her car and jewelry, but her clothes too. The killer left her naked body under a Palmetto bush in a little used or known area of Orlando. The writer takes us through the intensive search for the killer and the two trials that ended in the death penalty for the vicious murderer. Little is left to the imagination.
