I enjoyed this book. I know it sounds strange that a true crime book would be enjoyable, but it was an interesting read. Katie is a sweet college girl who likes to party. At a party she is so drunk that an aquintance takes her back to her dorm. In the car is a passenger friend of the driver, who is also drunk. When they get to the college the passenger helps Katie get to her room. A few hours later, Katie is dragged out of her burning room. She has been raped and set on fire. The passenger, the last person with her is Stephen Soules. Soules names an accomplice - Luke Goodrum. Luke claims he was nowhere near Katie. but ends up in jail based only on Soules word. Read the book you won't be sorry.

I was greatly disappointed in this book. I am an avid true crime reader, and being from Kentucky, I had not heard of this crime and was intrigued. The writing was horrible and he made the victim and her family somewhat unsympathetic. Rather than tell the story of poor Katie Autry, the author simply quoted what I thought were probably taped conversations with the people involved in this tragedy. Not one I would recommend.
