A decent true crime book. I did not know anything beforehand about this case as with most true crimes. When i started reading I did think the wife was crazy, sorry, but I was glad that in the end the author also agreed with me so far that how she "used" God in her life was very unhealthy. I liked how this author wrote about the dad in the beginning. He had a way of keeping the suspense open. He did not tell who did it in the beginning as so many other authors did. Do not understand that there are still people out there supporting dad. Where they found her it was obvious he did it. Proof enough to me. Give this book a 3.8.

Read from October 18 to 22, 2011
