I thought I knew most of the relevant facts at the time most of this story occurred, as I have family living in the area of one of the main locales involved - in Northwest Washington state. But that didn't keep me from being riveted to the book almost from the first page. A sad and scary tale of not only domestic abuse but also of a twisted father/father-in-law and his son...leaves the reader just waiting for the whole situation to explode. Makes you wonder about the part religion may have played in this tragedy (spoiler alert) and the loss of innocent victims that maybe nobody could have stopped. Very well written by one of my favorite authors.

this was a "good read"; but so very tragic.

I really enjoyed the book. What a disfunctional family this killer came from! It was sad a little mormon girl got caught up in it. Even the father in law wanted her.
