Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK TO READ!

This story is all about Susan Smith the homocide/suicide she planned that turned into a homocide of her two children. This book is filled with suspense, drama, and some real life photos of Susan Smith and the days of the horrendous murder! If you are interested in any of this, I recommend this book. It's a great book because once you start reading it, you don't want to put it down.

Ended too soon

This book was very well written. However, it ended way too soon. Far better, I feel it would have been, to wait for the outcome of a case before publishing the book because it leaves the reader hanging. My favorite book on this case still remains "Beyond All Reason," written by David Smith, the father of the slain boys.

still cant believe this happened

The book was very well written, mostly from the point of view of the townspeople and Sheriff Wells, but not one sided at all. I was a little disappointed the story ended before the trial was even set.
