Absolutely incrediable what people will do to someone they say they love! This is the true story of a murder that took place in the recovering days of Katrina in New Orleans. The life this group of people lived, roaming and sleeping here and there and living from one bar job to another just baffeled me. I found myself very uncomfortable with their night life and lack of human wants. They lived so "nomad". Drugs and liquor rampent everyday, i would of thought at least one of them would of seen what was coming. I believe this man was a good person, all of them were...but the liquor and drug use changed them into totally different people. It was so easy to prevent this, it damaged so many lives conected to them also.
An interesting hard to put down story, morbid and heartbreaking, I especially liked that there was no court hearings to read thru.
