Helpful Score: 3

Very interesting book and great writing, however the Starrett family were not on the inside what they portrayed on the outside .... mother demanded perfection .... father was cold and nonverbal because of his own childhood with a very strict controlling father .... mother also had a controlling father who whipped her til she bled .... mother ruled the family and lived in denial for years that her Danny could not commit those heinous crimes that he was committed to 5 life sentences in NC and 5 life sentences in GA.

To me, the strangest part of the book was Danny's socalled relationship with 15 yr. old Jeannie McCrea that he abducted and she supposedly went along with it .... I would like to know the real story of how/why she was shot and that didn't come out in the book except for what Danny said, which really didn't make sense to me, but then again, nothing Danny did made sense.

One of the best true crime books I've read.
