I've read hundreds of true crime books, but this one is the most horrid of all. In the afterword M. William Phelps said he took some rather scathing reviews from some of Lisa Montgomery's allies that he didn't get the entire truth. Phelps said he asked anyone who had any information to get in touch with him when he was writing the book. Those that took issue with him did not do so.
However, it doesn't matter what happened in Lisa's life before she committed that horrid act .... she did what she did and no excuse(s) in the world can could ever be understood nor condoned. This was a well thought out premeditated act of murder, period. She got what she deserved with the death penalty.
As far as the author .... it seemed at times he was regurgitating information (as many true crime writers will do), but if you simply bypass that process the book is well written.
