It is difficult to believe this woman got away with so many murders for so long.

This is a bit of a slow read.

Very good book. I ordered it because I was intrigued. I had not heard about this case. It took me about three days to read this. I lead an extremely busy life with three children so for me to read a book in such a short time is nothing short of amazing. It was just that good!

I read this when it first came out and found it horrifying then and thinking of it again now I still feel the same way. It is one of the most riveting true crime stories I have ever read. I actually cried as I read about the beautiful little babies that she killed like nothing, no emotion, all to put herself in the spotlight. I will never understand her and have absolutely no sympathy for a piece of human trash such as that.

I will not soon forget the impact this book had on me. These 10 little angels were doomed at conception by their own mother. To this day no documentation exists explaining what propelled this woman to destroy her own blood. Chilling--absolutely chilling!

From the back cover: In March, 1949, a healthy baby boy named Richard Noe was born. Three days later, he left it--found dead in his parents' Philly home. Over the next 14 years, all nine Noe children would die--one a stillborn, one in the hospital, and seven of unexplained causes. None lived longer than 15 months.

In 1999, Marie Noe pled guilty to killing eight of her dead children. Contains eight pages of heartbreaking photos.

An excellent true crime novel.
