Ratings and reviews

As a resident (not native) of Madison, this event is still "alive" in the collective consciousness of our town. Understandably, no one wishes to talk about it, so this book has given me greater insight ND understanding of the crime. The only complaint I can make about this book is that the author occasionally makes references to things in out community with incorrect or odd terms. Past that minor issue (which doesn't affect the quality of the author's quite compelling telling of this crime's story) the book is an excellent source of information about this crime and the author does a fine job of conveying to the readers the emotional gut punch that this was to everyone who cared about Shanda. An ugly event. But one well explored and explained by this book. Very much a worthy read.

I knew one of the girls personally that was involved went to elementary school with her and hazelwood she lived right around the corner from me it was Melinda loveless its sad that someone could tourture a sweet little girl like that Shanda was a sweet loving.girl never in a million years I never would think Melinda was capable of this its terriible I went to shandas funeral heart wrenching I couldn't imagine ever this happening to my kids 60 years is not enough !!life would of been justice rest in peace

very sad story, written well
