If it means anything to you, I gave this book five stars, when I seldom read a book that is worthy of that type of praise. This was an exceptional true crime account told by the cousin of the victims. The message it leaves you with is one that I hope people will retain; "remember the victims". In a media sensationalized world of hype for criminals it is important to remember the innocent lives that are affected by their deeds. Just think about it; we all know about Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramirez - but how many of their victims do we remember? I plan to always remember the names Robin and Julie Kerry; the girls who lost their lives one night under the Chain of Rocks Bridge in St Louis.
