Years ago after watching the TV movie based on this true story, my sister and I read this book and couldn't put it down. It was well written with all the details of the evidence, but without being dry or overwhelming. I highly recommend it and give it 4.5 stars out of 5.

I went back and forth on whether or not he was guilty. At one point I was sure he wasnt, then I was positive he was. Now the only thing I know for sure is his wife and their 2 little girls were murdered brutally and that is very sad. I think he might have done it, but I dont think he did. At least I have reasonable doubt that he is guilty so I dont think I could have found him guilty if I had been on the jury. Read this book and see what you think.
