Review:After years of wondering why serial killers engage in such monstrous behavior, I finally got the answers in this book.
Most of my previous research has rendered certain elements that contribute to such abhorrent behavior; however this book documents the research of someone who has been in the trenches fighting monsters. Read more

Review:This is a wonderful book. Although it is very lengthy and goes into minute detail with regard to the author's quest to understand the crime perpetrated against her and her former friend, I never became bored by the minutiae. On the contrary - I was fascinated the entire time. It is a story about crime but also about friendship and self-discovery and small-town American life.

Review:This book, written as a first person narrative, seems like a stretched out version of an article in Redbook! The point is made early on that they find one another. I was wondering at that point what else would come. It had interesting bits of information then... interspersed throughout are random research on twins. It was as though they needed to fill pages. This book was not particularly well written and the style was tedious. Revelations was not outstanding and ending predictable. I felt it ... Read more

Review:Very interesting story. Author worked for years on his family history only to discover through DNA testing that his father was not his biological father.

Even as a stranger looking in I found the stories fascinating, even if they are gross to the outsider looking in. Read more
