I read an eBook version of this thirty chapter book with epilogue. I was interested in this story because the murder took place in Montgomery county, Maryland just to the west of Prince George's county where I live. ( )

This is one of the better true crime novels that I have read. It is obviously well researched and the author notes discuss the opportunity the author was given that allowed for the research. The book also dealt with all different aspects of the investigation and possible motives which some true crime novels don't do. A strong look into the psychology reasoning behind the murder was done and is appreciated by this reader. ( )

I enjoyed this true story of murder in a professional class community. Mr. Morse takes us on a journey with the police department to discover just how a murder is solved. A must read if you want to write a murder mystery. He not only shows how murder can effect a community but the devastation this crime has on families of both the victims as well as the murderer's family. I recommend this book. ( )

Wow! A true shocking murder exposed in this amazing, easy reading & full of suspense book.

I like the sensitive way that the author reveals true facts about this horrific crime, but I don’t like that this murder really happened.

The book gives us details of what evidence the investigators found in the Lululemon Athletica yoga store and what happened next days after the deceased Jayna Murray was found with more than three hundred wounds on her body. There is also information about the second person found alive in the store, the interviews that took place and what happened at the courtroom trials.

I appreciate that the author let us know a bit story of the victim’s life and the killer’s life before the tragedy and also gave us information about their families.

There are many quotes I've like in this book. Here are some of them:
“Evidence doesn't lie. People do.”
“Life is too short to miss opportunities.”
“If you’re afraid to do something, go do it.”
“With guidance, she’ll set the world on fire; without guidance, she’ll destroy herself.”
“Always moving forward. And the only way to do that was through self-awareness and self improvement.”
“Friends are more important than money.”
“Jealousy works the opposite way you want it to.”
“Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.” ( )

I had never heard of this atrocity. Having lived near Orlando at the time, the Casey Anthony thing was everywhere. I feel so bad for the families that have suffered through this ordeal. I think Mr. Morse did a terrific job on this novel. There were no boring parts in it at all. I liked how he delved into the lives of all involved. I would like to read more of his work. ( )
