"A Rip in Heaven" is a heartfelt memoir that brought tears to my eyes. I read it so quickly because it was hard to put down. I cried at the horrific acts that the authors cousin and brother were subjected to. I was also horrified at the way both the police and the media handled the whole horrible situation. The author's brother was treated as a suspect instead of the victim that he was and then the media constantly reported inaccurate or downright false information. Plus, as the years passed by the deaths of the two beautiful girls were forgotten and instead the horrible murderers were brought into the spotlight and sometimes even pitied. It really scares me to read how quickly the media forgot the deaths and focused instead on the killers and what was happening to them. This was a very disturbing read that moved me and startled me
