This is a gripping, heart-breaking, true-story about the murder of an innocent little two-year old girl. It is not graphic or gory, and it never does answer the reason or the "why" it was done, however, it shows the perserverance of the little girl's grandmother, a detective and a DA and how it all paid off. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's reading tastes include true-crime stories.

This is an excellent writer. He tells the story in a way to keep one's interest, yet the facts are intack. I rate Carlton Stowers as a crime writer right up there with Ann Rule.

Incredibly sad story of a child's death, and the dogged determination of her mother and grandmother to find the truth. I recently discovered Mr. Stowers when I noticed that Ann Rule recommended one of this book. I have now read 3 of his, and I plan to read more.

Carlton Stowers' book is a very well written, detailed account of the life and death of two year old Renee Goode. He introduces the reader to all the characters in the story and gives a complete picture of Renee's family and the horrible way her life is ended at the hands of her own father. He tells of the relentless battle Renee's grandmother fights to find someone to help get justice for little Renee. Mr. Stowers also tells of the in-depth investigation and those who worked so diligently to make sure a killer does not go free to possibly kill again. He has told this story with such compassion, the book is really hard to put down.
