A great reporting of the murder, the clues that led up to the solution, and finally the trial! This is one of the best true crime stories I've read. The author has plenty of legal experience and she writes as a pro. Scott Peterson is a sociopath who cooly killed his wife and unborn baby, without skipping a beat. He was already courting another woman, Amber Frey, even before the killing of his wife. And yet his parents, to the bitter end of the trial, continued to "cry innocent." Sociopaths are very good at pulling the wool over the eyes of unsuspecting friends, relatives, and everyone else they come upon in life.
Excellent read!!
