This is a fascinating case. Two entitled teens murder a young boy with absolutely no motive. Why?? I'm a true crime buff and couldn't wait to read this book. Unfortunately it took me months to read, putting it down and reading other books instead. There was SOOO much detail in the book it drug on and on - there were portions I ended up skipping or skimming. The book was really too detailed and thorough - if there is such a thing.
