Good, but not as good a book as I'd hoped for. Having read "Picture Perfect" by Shanna Hogan, I was interested in the case and hoped to learn more.
The main new information I noticed was Jodi's early life and some possible root causes for her mental instability.
What I didn't care for was countless comments from the author sharing her opinion of Jodi Arias. Yes, I think most readers agree with Velez-Mitchell's assessment of Arias, but I much prefer a storyteller type of author who doesn't pound their opinions into the book. They let the reader make their own assessment. Velez-Mitchell really has strong opinions about Jodi Arias and it became distracting reading them so often (for me).
Other than that, and some punctuation issues that make my Word Nerd self a little crazy, it was a good book. I learned more about the case...I'd only hoped for more.
