- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Read for Fun (Library)Overall Rating: 3.50Story Rating: 3.50Read Rating: 3.50First Thought when Finished: Never See Them Again is a book I picked up after watching The Forensic Files on the case. I wanted to know more.Quick Thoughts:Overall this was a good delve into the murders: a little more detail into the motive and the investigation surrounding the case. A lot more information than was in the show that I watche so I got more background on both the victims, perps, families, and cops. I thought it spent a little too much time in the beginning focusing on the lifestyles of the victims --especially knowing who the perps were but that was a decision the author made. True Crime is not always a compelling read but this one wasn't bad. It did flow well and gave the fill-in information I was looking for.Part of my Read It, Rate It, File It, DONE! REviews

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is a look at the horrible murders of four young adults. Readers will be shocked hearing the details of the murders. This book gives a great view inside the investigation of the murders and it follows it for the three years it took investigators to solve the case. It also gives you a glimpse into the lives of the victims. When mentioning the lives of the victims the book only goes into detail of some and not all of them. I would have loved to have heard more about the victims less mentioned.At times I was shocked at the personal connections I could make to people and areas surrounding the murder. I had actually went on vacation to Clear Lake City exactly a year before the murders happened. I don't remember hearing about the murders when they happened though. I was also shocked to find out that I grew up in the same town and went to the same high school as Justin Rott, the man who married Christine (although I did graduate from high school many years after he did). I would recommend this book to fans of true crime books.[I received this book from a GoodReads giveaway which in no way affects the content of my review.]
