As an avid true crime reader, I really enjoyed this book, mainly because of Sarah Pender's unique combination of brains and manipulative skills.

Highly intelligent, this is a woman that could have achieved so much had she taken a different turn in life.
You can practically feel her parents' pain with what happened with their daughter...

Sarah and her accomplice, Richard Hull, both received long sentences for their participation in the murder of two people. Even after reading the book, it's not clear which of the two pulled the trigger, but it's obvious they're both involved.

After serving 8 years, Sarah feels she's served enough time and devises a remarkably well thought out escape. She changed her identity, found a man who was willing to sacrifice all for her, worked at a regular job and remained free for over 4 months.

Well written book - about your not very average criminal.
