I grew up in Florissant, MO & my aunt & uncle lived in Jerseyville, Illinois for several years. True crime has always interested me however, reading about true crimes that have occurred so close to where I grew up – I couldn’t stop listening to this book! Such a great depiction of the detectives’ lifelong dedication to seeking justice. I too, had to often take “breaks” with the story. My first granddaughter, Londyn is 6 weeks old. When I look into her sweet face, I can’t fathom the darker parts of this story & the tragedies that took place. This story creates awareness that evil exists – even when it’s dressed in normal, everyday clothes.
