This book is about Susan Smith, who murdered her children by strapping them into their car seats and sending them into the water to drown. She made up a bizarre story, which nobody believed for very long. It is always shocking when a parent murders their child, and this was no exception. I felt terrible for the father of these boys. The facts of this case were presented and well written. It was easy to follow and certainly kept my interest.

This was a decent primer on Susan Smith, but a lot of the information seemed irrelevant. I'm not really interested in the opinions of everyone in the town, and I'm not sure why there were pages upon pages of Bible verses and verbatim sermons from the boys' funeral.
