An average read on the 4 college students killed in Idaho. It just went over when it happened, and who has been arrested for the crime. A rehash of everything on that was on the news.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

I hadn‘t known much about this tragedy so much of this book was new to me. Horrific and so sad. Appelman did a decent job presenting the limited available information, but I think this could have been a much better book had more time passed. The case hasn‘t even gone to trial yet.

Finished this last week! I learned a lot about the victims & also the perpetrator. Not really a lot of new information in regards to the ongoing case as the trial hasn‘t happened yet. But it was nice to read everything together in one place so you could see the progression of events unfolding. If you‘re a true crime fan or followed the case, I would recommend this book. It is chilling to read the re-enactments of the crimes but it‘s based in fact

Megabooks Great review! 💯 agree! 1y

Starting this one today. I‘ve been following this tragedy from the beginning. It is heartbreaking and I can‘t even imagine how the parents of the children make it through each day 💔 and the trial keeps getting delayed because this pos waived his right to a speedy trial 🤬

Ugh this book! I found myself totally sucked in and wishing I could just yell at all of them...lock your doors!!! This is fast paced...you get to know each victim individually as well as have a front seat if you would to the investigation. If you like true crime reads...add this one to the list! #bookspin #nonfiction @thearomaofbooks

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘ve been keeping up with this one since the beginning! Stacked!! 1y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1y

Of course I loved this book, as I have been following these murders through and through so far. I needed him to elaborate on a couple of things more, but maybe he couldn‘t yet. Plus, of course, there‘s no trial outcome yet, 😒 but still written in clear investigative detail.

TheQuietQuill I was in shock when I found out that the killer lives 20 minutes from me in a small town PA. Very disturbing altogether, and so sorry for the lives lost. 1y
guinsgirlreads @TheQuietQuill OMG, I bet! 😳 Such a shame, for sure. 💔 1y

I‘m not hugely into true crime but count me among the millions of Americans that had their eyes on the murder of four University of Idaho students in 2022. In this book, Appelman talks to the victims‘ families and elaborates on the hunt for the killer and his eventual arrest. The case still has not gone to trial, so the book is fairly short. If you‘re into true crime, check this one out! Great narration, too!

BarbaraBB I love true crime so this will be stacked! 1y
SamAnne I live about 80 miles from Moscow ID and spend time there regularly. We could not help but obsess on this crime. It is not the sort of thing that happens that that small university town. 1y
Megabooks @SamAnne yes, it was simply shocking in its violence and location. I‘m sure you see a lot of beautiful scenery traveling around there. 1y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB this case captivated America B. Like every news channel live coverage, every night on the evening news, hour long specials. I admit not watching all of it, so it was interesting to read it all encapsulated here. 1y
