Excellent true crime
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I don't understand the negative reviews of this book at all. I've been a voracious true crime reader for over a decade and I am as certain to enjoy a Steve Jackson book as I am Ann Rule. I consider him the crime writer for Colorado as Ann Rule is for the Pacific Northwest. This book does a great job of detailing the characters involved and is sensitive to the victim. Yes, the crime was solved right away, but that doesn't make understanding why they did it and the events leading up to it and afterwards any less interesting. I enjoyed every page of it and look forward to everything else Steve Jackson writes in the future. Definately worth it for true crime lovers!
Well Written and well Researched

The author not only grabs the reader's attention from the very first page, he places this horrific crime in historical context with other death penalty cases. Steve Jackson has done his homework! The reader gets to know Jacine and her family and whether one agrees with the death penalty or not, you cannot help but feel the pain of Jacine's parents. I will never forget her smiling face. This book is a must read for readers of true crime.
A good account of a terrible crime
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I have read many true crime books over the years and by far the most appealing aspect of this book is the sensitivity shown by the author with respect to the family of the victim. As is unfortunately the case, the rights of the accussed often outweigh those of the victim and this book is a startling reminder of this. The horrendous suffering of this victim is overlooked by defense attorneys who wish to profit from a tragedy. I can only hope that the family of this victim can gain some level of peace with the knowledge that this book has allowed the memory of their daughter's special character to prosper.
