It’s hard to rate a nonfiction crime
novel. The authors use a completely different writing style and format. This
story is so horrific, it’s hard not to get engrossed; however it is very
factual and often repeats these facts as more circumstantial evidence is
discovered. I read this book after seeing a 20/20 special on the murder. Even
though the summary and cover promise you more information on the case, there is
very little that wasn’t covered in the special. The most disappointing part of
the story, if you can call it that, is that the true reason of the murder is
never revealed as promised. It’s still all speculation since the murderers won’t
talk. My conclusion after reading the book is that the Star City Police
Department did a poor job; it took them way too long to identify the silver car
in the surveillance videos. I don’t understand why they didn’t at least look at
Shelia’s silver car.
