This is a fascinating story. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, and courtroom information. The author injected herself and her views into this story more than usual with a true crime.
I could not believe what a creep Scott Peterson was- just in his daily behaviour.

An excellent review of the facts of the case. Good to read in conjunction with Keith Ablow's book, "Inside the Mind of Scott Peterson." Highly recommended.

This is my fourth book of reading on the Scott & Laci Peterson murder and trial. It is most informative and interesting. Scott is a total sociopath, but with the other books that I have read, I am still not totally convinced that he actually killed Laci. There are some witnesses that were not brought fourth in the trial (the defense attorney did not seem to really do his job), that would have given me a doubt, at least enough not to agree that Scott should be on death row. I still have a bit to go, but I would have not had all the information that I have read in these books to make a decision. It seems to me that the police latched onto the fact that they thought that Scott was guilty from the beginning and did not investigate all that they could have from that point on. This book totally shows how Scott is a total liar and scumbag, but still I am not sure that he could have committed the murder. A must read if you are interested in this case.

This book was a very interesting view into the mind of a sociopath. Disturbing at times, but a very well-written book.
