Customer Reviews

Knew one of the victims

I especially liked the book due to the fact I was one of the victims girlfriends from our past in an orphanage home.I had wondered about the details of his murder and now my questions are answered.

Attention grabbing

This was a very informative book. As a corrections officer at the prison where one of the characters are, I was very interested. I was captivated with the authors presentation of the facts. I would like to see a sequel written on the remainder of the Faye Copeland case.

This story is unbelievable, yet very real.

This book is a great depiction of the way things actually happened on that farm near Chillicothe, MO. Being from Missouri myself, I was interested in what happened just 60 miles from my home and this book tells it all. It makes you keep coming back for more and you will never lose your interest.
