a real page turner

This was the first True Crime book I have ever read (I'm 13) and I fell in love with them after finishing this. I will agree that the author did tell an awful lot about Steven Stayner but I think that that helped us to realize some of the reasons why Cary Stayner did what he did. I really enjoyed the book and am moving on to more True Crime books-right now It's Bodies of Evidence.

Brutal murders at Natures Wonderland

That the Stayner family could survive the tragedy of their youngest sons disappearance,return & then untimely death is unbeliveable. It is impossible to comprehend their ability to deal now with thier older son being the perpretator of these ghastly murders. This book details the investigation into those murders & offers insight to the shadow Cary has lived under all his life. It is not a page turner in the sense it is suspensful but once started you cannot put it down as it reveals how the tragic circumstances transpired & then relates Cary's confession of the hideous crimes. If you are going to follow the trial I recommend this book for the background it provides.
