The amazing thing about this terrible crime is that there was no way to see it coming. The saddest thing is that a man who had opportunities to overcome childhood issues - was surrounded by a loving family, didn't. And another family that was happy, connected and lived for each other - were caught in the web of Chris Hightower's pain. He killed a man he was angry at, then the man's wife and young child for nothing but his own greed. This murder was beyond evil. Yet as you read (this very well written account) and 'watch' from the perspective of observer - hindsight of his collective behavior aside- there were no tell tale signs of this man being a monster. But at his trial - in his own words he let everyone know how disturbed he actually was.

Well research and written. Fast read. Amazing and sad story.

This book definitely proves that Mark Twain was right when he said "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't."

This book is Well-researched and well-written. Mr. Davis adds fascinating insight into the motives of not only the murderer, but all others involved in this case, including the attorneys involved in the trial.

It is hard for me to believe that money would cause someone to kill a family. I finished this book feeling sad for the family of the deceased. The part that bothered me the most was that this was from outward appearances a "normal" person. No one had any reason to fear him. Just a bad businessman which there are many out there. Who would think it would turn into murder. Read if you like true crime, a interesting look into a mind of a killer. Who knew???
