This book is about a family in Connecticut who was targeted by two men, who violently beat and murdered the members of the family, save for one. There are a lot of negative reviews about this book, mostly because it delves into the psychological aspects of one of the killers and not the other. A lot of people seem to feel like this book was giving the one killer a say, but they are not understanding the interview was meant to show the thought process of the killer, like many other true crime books do. The surviving family member was unavailable for interview. It wasn't a bias favoring one over the other like some people state. The other issue I have seen in some of the negative reviews is that it was written before the case went to trial, though plenty of books are written before trial. I am not here to say that this was a five star book, because it wasn't for me. It wasn't the worst true crime book I have ever read. I would give it a middle score.
