    About this audiobook

    From the author of #1 New York Times bestseller American Tragedy.

    Nothing written about the death of JonBenet Ramsey can possibly prepare the listener for the revelations in this audiobook. Here, acclaimed writer Lawrence Schiller reveals for the first time the uncensored true story of the events that unfolded on Christmas night of 1996 and the unthinkable damage suffered by a community in the aftermath. This gripping, definitive account finally answers the question: What happened in the town of Boulder, Colorado?

    Perfect Murder, Perfect Town is a brilliant portrait of an inscrutable family thrust under the spotlight of public suspicion and an affluent, tranquil city torn apart by a crime it was not prepared to deal with. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, this is a tour de force that will fascinate listeners for years to come.

    It is read by Ron McLarty on four cassettes.

      Well it's pretty interesting, but some parts seem kinda out of order? Glitchy too.

      I liked this book. Note to reader this is all perjury information. It also focuses on the politics of the Boulder Police, a lot. That is the main idea. What went on behind the scenes there. I learned a few new details after a lifelong researcher and it was good.

      Mostly about squabbles between the police and DA. not what I expected
    • 2/5
      While this does share a lot of details not made public about the case, I have to say it does NOT "definitively" explain what happened the night JonBenet was killed. I don't want to spoil the book for anyone, but if you're expecting an answer to who killed her, this is not the book to do so.
