This book was heartbreaking but it was also very disturbing. I can handle that, but if you don't like violence gore,and explicit details I wouldn't recommend this book to you. However, if you think you can, it's a good book and it would be worth your while to read it.

I read a lot of true crime. Haven't read that much from this author before. The story is a good one. The "interview" style he uses is difficult to get into, but overall it was a good quick read.
I don't know who was worse the son or the dad.
This is one of the saddest books I have ever read.
As a mother I can't even describe the heartache this book left me with.
When the mom went looking her for little girl she went to one of the neighbors apartments asking if her daughter was there. The teenage boy she was talking to was the last one seen with her daughter. She asked to look through their apartment for her child, but didn't go into the room that the teenager said his uncle was sleeping in because she didn't want to be rude. Later she learned that her daughter was in fact behind that closed door.

Its scary to think there are people who would hurt a child or any person for their own pleasure. I was hoping for more insight as to what makes a person like this.
