This was an excellent read. Although you know the killer almost immediately after the crime, it is still keeps you going. The in depth story of the family and the affects it had on them is so heartbreaking. One can only imagine how a tragedy of this magnitude would affect the family and others close. I think this is the first book that I read that devoted so much time to the victims rather than the criminal. A sad story well told and makes me realize how we are all connected as humans to our neighbors and friends.
