Summary: update
Review: A very affecting book, teenagers are even targets of their own friends, and yet becomes a case of mistaken identity. Shakes your faith in some police tho, thank gosh for a man who would not let it go. A page turner right to the end.

Summary: The most interesting book i ever read.
Review: Carlton Stowers does an excellant job brining in the reader to this story. A muder for hire that ends up with the wrong people killed. The story is true and takes many strange and unexpected twist and turns. This is the most interesting book i have ever read,Stowers makes you feel like you know the people involved.

Summary: Scary
Review: I lived in Waco when these murders happened. The fact of mistaken identity scared everyone. I live only about a 1/2 mile from where the murders took place. Also, the young man that was murdered had the same last name as me, which is not a common last name. My mom was always being asked if it was her son and I if he was my brother. Even though I was living right there and heard it on the news and read it in the newspaper constantly, it still made the hair stand up on my arms when I read the book.

Summary: Scary
Review: I read just about every true crime book that comes out and this one, for me, is definitely in my top five out of many. The writing itself is excellent and the details are outstanding. Truman Simons must certainly be the most dedicated investigator to ever work a murder scene and his dogged dedication alone resulted in finding the murderers and punishing them accordingly. The book was especially intriguing with psychics, one that told the police many "sightings" she had that were right on the mark most of the time. This book is so well written that the pain the victim's families felt from losing their children will haunt you for a long time. I promise this is one crime book that you will read repeatedly. If you are a dedicated true crime buff, do your best to find this book and read it! My hardback copy is one of my true crime collection treasures! I've read it three times over the years and each time I couldn't put it down.
