House of Evil: The Indiana Torture Slaying

In the heart of Indianapolis in the mid 1960's, through a twist of fate and fortune, a pretty young girl came to live with a thirty-seven-year-old mother and her seven children. What began as a temporary childcare arrangement between Sylvia Likens's parents and Gertrude Baniszewski turned into a crime that would haunt cops, prosecutors, and a community for decades to come... When police found Sylvia's emaciated body, with a chilling message carved into her flesh, they knew that she had suffered tremendously before her death. Soon they would learn how many others--including some of Baniszewski's own children--participated in Sylvia's murder, and just how much torture had been inflicted in one HOUSE OF EVIL

Hard to get through.

I love true crime and was really excited when I saw this book but I found it very hard to get through. The writing is just plain boring and disorganized. The crime in itself is horrifying and fascinating however I found this book extremely difficult to read due to lack of interest in the way it was written. Would not recommend.

Expecting a great read!

This was an excellent true story crime book. I had watched the movie and the book was every bit as good.

A horrifying crime!

I have read alot of true crime and this one is one of the worst crimes that I've read about. Very sad yet I keep thinking of so many ways it could have been prevented. Very disturbing so I don't recommend it to just anyone. But for those of you who really love any true crime Read this book!

Great read

This book is very descriptive and a great read for those who love true crime. To think this could happen next door and at a time in America when people couldn't imagine such evil. Not for the faint of heart.

Great True Crime

To me this is a must read for any fan of true crime. As an Indiana native I was glued to this horrific story. The details of the gruesome murder will not only make you cringe, they will keep the pages turning swiftly! An incredibly easy read (apart from some stomach turning tidbits of torture) and surprisingly well written for a local newspaper reporter. A job that gave John Dean the perfect line of sight to get the best scoop...
