This book tells of the happenings of the J. R. Slaughter murders that gained public headlines out of an Oklahoma City suburb in the early 1990s. Slaughter killed his girlfriend and THEIR 18 month old child. He was angered because she would not have an abortion like he has made his other girlfriends. This book shows us that someone who appears to be an upstanding citizen can truly have a dark side. God Bless the Edmond, OK detectives who brought this horrible man to justice.
Good book! Keeps your attention -- detailed but not dry!

This account of a cold-blooded double-murder of the killer's ex-girlfriend and his own daughter is interesting and well written. I especially like that the trial and sentencing were covered but without taking up half the book which often happens in true crime; the reader is not left hanging by not knowing how it ends, yet is not bored with dry legal transcipts and life histories of all the attorneys, either. I highly recommend this book!
