reviewed on + 160 more book reviews


From the back cover: In March, 1949, a healthy baby boy named Richard Noe was born. Three days later, he left it--found dead in his parents' Philly home. Over the next 14 years, all nine Noe children would die--one a stillborn, one in the hospital, and seven of unexplained causes. None lived longer than 15 months.

In 1999, Marie Noe pled guilty to killing eight of her dead children. Contains eight pages of heartbreaking photos.

An excellent true crime novel.
