Customer Reviews

Unthinkable torture by a demon mother
The book was very interesting. It seems impossible to think that a mother could do such sick and perversed things to their own flesh and blood. Even though all of the children were not killed, the ones who lived have hell on earth. It is absolutely terrible to think that anyone would be capable of doing such things. I wish the book would have included what happened to Theresa Knorr. Did they convict her and what happened to the children? I would like a sequel or something to let you know that this monster is not out on the streets up to her old tricks.

Shocking, but engrossing!
This books tell of the story of a woman who hated her daughters and enlisted the help of her sons in the torture and eventual murder of 2 her girls.
I thought the book was excellent, and very addictive (I read it in 3 days). It was startling how many times she got away with her crimes and how many years went by before the police finally listened to her only surviving daughter.
I highly recommend this book not only for it's factual telling of the story of a psychotic mother, but the insight it gives you into the criminal mind. I've come away with a knowledge of what warning signs to look for if ever confronted with someone crying out for help. I give the book 4* because it doesn't tell you the outcome of the trial of the mother and her sons. You're left guessing if she and her boys are convicted, or if she ends up getting away with it-AGAIN! I had to research online the outcome-other than that it's a must read.

Good read
I thought the book was a good read.
The book concentrated on the mother with just enough detail of the crimes to keep you interested.
It is also interesting in how the daughter could tell so many people of crimes and NO ONE does anything including the Police.
How the mother changed once away from the family.

I totally recommend it but.......
my only critisim is that me personally i would have liked to have had more detail of the crimes with-in the house as I felt there was a lot left out.

But this takes nothing away from the book except that it left me wanting to know more.
