in 1984 the hideously beaten body of teresa benigno taylor a young wife and mother was found in a remote ditch in eastern pennsylvania. this is the shocking true story of the brutal murder and explosive passions that were unleashed. with an investigative reporter's zeal for truth and a novelist's talent for narrative, peter maas probes the perverse life of kenneth taylor and the lasting agony inflicted on those who loved him.

If you've seen the movie on Lifetime, you must read the book. There is far more background to Kenneth Z. Taylor than the movie portrays. An excellent account of what happened in Manalapan, NJ back in the '80's.

feel so bad for the family that lost their sister and daughter as far as I am concerned that man(monster) can rot in that prison and I hope that his son never wants to find him

Good book, although some things could have been left out. Thought movie was better.
