From the outside looking in, Jennifer Pan seemed like a model daughter living a perfect life. The ideal child, the one her immigrant parents saw, was studying to become a pharmacist at the University of Toronto. But there was a dark, deceptive side to the angelic young woman. In reality, Jennifer spent her days in the arms of her high-school sweetheart, Daniel. In an attempt to lead the life she dreamed of, she would do almost anything: lie about her whereabouts, forge school documents, and invent fake jobs and a fictitious apartment. For many years she led this double life. But when her father discovered her web of lies, his ultimatum was severe. And so, too, was her revenge: a plan that culminated in cold-blooded murder. And it almost worked, except for one bad shot. The story of Jennifer Pan is one of all-consuming love and devious betrayal that led to a cold-hearted plan hatched by a group of youths who thought they could pull off the perfect crime.… (meer)

This one was an excellent remonder why true crime is simply not my genre. It was, in my opinion, horribly bogged down by detail. I’m not sure how the author managed to wring out 600+ pages for a young woman with mental issues who arranges for her parents’ murders.

The only good thing was revealed in the end that she and her compatriots are in prison. ... not sure why they aren’t on death row, but that’s Canada’s thing and none of my affair. (

"A Daughter's Deadly Deception: The Jennifer Pan Story" by Jeremy Grimaldi is an amazing read. I usually stick to Ann Rule because many true crime stories rely on gory descriptions but this book relates more of the emotional background to the story and especially depicts a sense of compassion for the victims. The book was well researched and very well written. I will definitely be reading more of Jeremy Grimaldi's books. (

Jennifer Pan, the daughter of Asian immigrants, coldly and callously arranges the murder of her parents. A seemingly normal child, Jennifer grew up with the urge and drive to succeed. When she was unable to get into a college, she began making up stories to satisfy her parents’ wishes. When her lies begin to unravel and she is given the choice between her boyfriend Daniel or her family, she initially chooses her family. What follows is a grim and horror filled story of murder and deceit.

I’m not sure how to review this book. The first half of the book addressed the crime, investigation and trial. The second half of the book analyzed Jennifer’s life and the murders. During the first half, the author continuously went back and forth from present to past tense and tended to get bogged down in mindless details. The minutia about the phone calls and texts was particularly tedious. The second half of the book was repetitive psychological analysis that was a complete bore. It gave information about her background that should have been told chronologically during the first half of the book. Overall, an interesting subject matter, but the book itself was a bust. (
