This one though I bought from a secondhand seller. Looked interesting. Have already read 68 pages a few days ago and liked the writing so I hope this is going to be another good true crime read. I really need something I can get lost in to take my mind of my sister and then it works best for me to go to my old favourite genre. ------------------------------------------------------------------- My sister passed away yesterday and I have not read much but I was so glad I had this book cause it helped me to relax. I highly recommend this book. Not just to true crime fans but to everyone really. This is good writing and the story is so interesting you cannot out this book down. To me John List was a control freak who when he did not get his way with his children decided to kill them There was one question left which was not answered in the book. Why did this idiot think that a few days before he killed them he told them he would kill them and they had to prepare for it? To me that made it even more cruel. If you get buy a copy secondhand, BUY IT!!! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Until 1971, life was good for mild-mannered accountant John List. He was vice president of a Jersey City bank and had moved his mother, wife, and three teenage children into a nineteen-room home in Westfield, New Jersey. But all that changed when he lost his job. Raised by his Lutheran father to believe success meant being a good provider, List saw himself as an utter failure. Straining under financial burdens, the stress of hiding his unemployment, as well as the fear that the free-spirited 1970s would corrupt the souls of his children, List came to a shattering conclusion. "It was my belief that if you kill yourself, you won't go to heaven," List told Connie Chung in a television interview. "So eventually I got to the point where I felt that I could kill them. Hopefully they would go to heaven, and then maybe I would have a chance to later confess my sins to God and get forgiveness." List methodically shot his entire family in their home, managing to conceal the deaths for weeks with a carefully orchestrated plan of deception. Then he vanished and started over as Robert P. Clark. Chronicling List's life before and after the grisly crime, Death Sentence exposes the truth about the accountant-turned-killer, including the details of his high-profile trial.
