This book really bothered me. The writing was good, but the story itself sent chills up and down me. A greedy daughter of an auto parts owner in Salt Lake City, coerces her young son into murdering his grandfather. The motive was money, and the outcome shocking.

If you read no other true murder story this year, make it this one.

This woman a mom of two grown boys and one little girl, makes you really
wonder about money, obsession and greed. You'll never think about them in the same
way again.
