Book Overview
On October 25. 1994, a hysterical Susan Smith told police a tale that would strike terror in the hearts of mothers everywhere. An unidentified gunman had sped off with her two little boys, leaving her screaming on the side of the road. For more than a week, the people in the tiny town of Union, South Carolina rallied around the young mother. They combed the woods and neighborhood parks for the missing children and prayed for their safe return, while FBI teams launched a massive manhunt. No one ever suspected that the pretty 23-year-old who tearfully pleaded for her children in front of millions of TV viewers could be capable of such a heartless act...until she led police to the watery graves of her young sons. Now, as a shaken community confronts its outrage and sorrow, a stunned nation asks how is could have happened.

GREAT BOOK TO READ!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This story is all about Susan Smith the homocide/suicide she planned that turned into a homocide of her two children. This book is filled with suspense, drama, and some real life photos of Susan Smith and the days of the horrendous murder! If you are interested in any of this, I recommend this book. It's a great book because once you start reading it, you don't want to put it down.
Ended too soon

This book was very well written. However, it ended way too soon. Far better, I feel it would have been, to wait for the outcome of a case before publishing the book because it leaves the reader hanging. My favorite book on this case still remains "Beyond All Reason," written by David Smith, the father of the slain boys.
still cant believe this happened

The book was very well written, mostly from the point of view of the townspeople and Sheriff Wells, but not one sided at all. I was a little disappointed the story ended before the trial was even set.
