I haven't posted here in a long time. Just wondering if any of you have read this book? I'm currently reading it and am finding it really interesting. It's a library book though, which is rare for me, as i have so many books to be read!

I haven't read it Jody..but my library has it so I just put it on reserve.   Glad you mentioned it. 

I picked up a new true crime hardback from my library today..it is called ~While they slept~by Harrison...It is about an 18 year old boy that killed his Mom, Dad and sister because of abuse.  He left one sister alive

This sounds familiar but after awhile it seems alot do--how cynical is that?! i will have to look that one up. I'm FINALLY going to read A Deadly Game: The Untold Story of the Scott Peterson Investigation by Catherine Crier. I think i got the recommendation here:)

Nicki-- Thanks so much for the recommendation on While They Slept-- I was surprised to see it is by Kathryn Harrison. I read a memoir of hers called the Kiss. She's a very intense writer. Am looking forward to this!!

Hey Jody.. I finished While they Slept and it was OK but not one of my favorite books.  She writes a very different type of true crime book.  She weaves her life into it so it reads more like a memoir.  I didn't love it but it was a library book..so I didn't miss a credit for it.

Thanks for the review Nicki. It surprised me that she wrote a true crime since she usually does memoirs and contemp fiction. I like both those genres and this author so will be prepared for more of  a memoir.  I can see why you would be disappointed if you were expecting a good true crime book. Another book, called The Red Parts by Maggie Nelson read like a memoir, too.

I got Erased today from the library.....woo weee..a new true crime book to read. 

How are you liking Erased Nicki?

 Jody CR: A Deadly Game: The Untold Story of the Scott Peterson Investigation by Catherine Crier.  

I enjoyed Erased Jody.  I had read a book about almost every case she wrote about but one or two.  It was an interesting compilation of all these wife killers!!
