This is NOT a true crime. It has been sorted incorrectly. I found it badly written and unrealistic though the set-up of murdered mentally retarded teens could have been interesting. The author obviously has no knowledge of police procedures. The resolution of the crime or accident is mildly interesting. Perhaps my enjoyment was limited by the fact that PBS has mis-classified the book as True Crime and I was expecting something real.
I enjoyed this book because it starts out fast and held my attention to the very end. Sad story of what it takes to forgive.
