Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three by Mara Leveritt
5.0
First, I give this book 4.5 stars, not a full out 5, but I have to round up.
As a longtime fan of true crime entertainment, I found this story fascinating. The travesty of what happened to these poor murdered children was intensified by the ineptitude of the investigation, making it doubtful that the case will ever be solved to anyone's satisfaction. Also, it also appears that three teens were accused and punished for horrific crimes that they probably did not commit.
I'd like to read an updated account of what has happened since this book was published in 2002. I encourage anyone with an interest in true crime to read this.
