The story behind the book is extraordinary, but I wasn't crazy about the author's writing style. He tended to babble a bit.

This book is disturbing because an evil mudereress can get away with it for so many years and go on living her life as normal. It was written in 1995 so updates on what has happened since the trial is missing. Also, the author does not give the timing of events very well so it is hard to keep track of when different occurances happened.

I was interested in reading this book because I used to live in the same areas that Mrs. Knorr lived when she comitted the murders. (North Sacramento and Orangevale) The story was slow to start, but once it got going, I couldnt stop. Its odd that no one thought that this woman needed psychiatric help. Everyone turns heir head. The only bad part of this true crime account is that it does not go into the livesa of the family after the mother was imprisoned. The book stops at the trial.
