I wanted more details on a few facts. For instance, Davis stated that no evidence wrt mitigating circumstances was given, per Darlie Routier's instructions to her attorneys. Mitigating circumstances were the only thing standing between her and the death penalty! No reason is given.

On the whole, though, this is an excellent book about the case, and gets more to the heart of motive than other works about the murder of Damon and Devon Routier. ( )

A book I read years ago and really enjoyed.Stupid me, back then I thought I had to many books so I sold some of them, to buy new books including a copy of this book.(I did get more money than I expected, I remember that, 14 to 19 euros?)I always felt stupid for doing that so I am so glad I managed to mooch a copy on bookmooch.Planning to re read.

And that was what I did. Still such a sad and well written book. I know the author decided to change her view after all the contact with Darlies family and some evidence. bruises of Darlie and other things.

I am sorry but even after reading a lot about both sides I still think she is guilty.
The big news the family told everyone in 2008 and you can find on many sites was that Darlie had won the right to re test the DNA. Weird that after that there was a big silence. Poor little boys.

read at about 2003
