The Santa Claus, Georgia Murders....This is is one sad story.  I read most of the true crime books written and this one brought  tears to my eyes.  It is well written and I recommend it.

I agree - I bought this book on a whim and I'm glad I did, it was an excellent read.

Just finished it. Awesome book. Not just the story of a murder but the story of a town. The story of about the guy that had the heart transplant made my mouth fall open. Thanks for recommending it Nicki. I loved how the author put his own experiences into the story. The story at the beginning where he is trying to find the town was hilarious.
