"We gotta kill 'em. They know what we look like."

On a hot summer night in Houston, two teenage girls-bright, beautiful, success-bound friends took a shortcut home from a friend's apartment to make their curfew. They never reached their homes. The next morning, the families of the two girls began a frantic search, organizing friends and neighbors and posting thousands of fliers across the sprawling city. But not until an anonymous 911 call four days later were the bodies of Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena finally recovered. Their killers were soon rounded up - a brutal, unrepentant gang of teenage boys whose convictions should have put them behind bars for life. But in the halls of justice, nothing is ever a sure bet....

"A compelling read." (Suzy Spencer, New York Times best-selling author)

It’s really well written, great narration, which makes the book, & the murders that much worst!

Gruesome

Too much backstory on each character made it difficult to keep the story straight. I listened at 1.5 speed to get through it. The narrator was very good.

Too much detail

incredibly biased regarding the death penalty, to the point it completely ruined the end of an otherwise fine true crime story.

biased and right wing, unnecessarily

This book has the feel like as if "that strange kid in middle school who always wanted to write a book finally did." Like it has a serious "try-hard" vocabulary and grammar. And the part that describes the crime is somewhat vulgar, almost as though the author was writing soft porn. These poor girls in this book are just children who are gang raped by 5 boys and the author could have explained what happened to them in a few sentences. But he goes on for what is likely half-a-dozen pages, without having been there, describing exactly how the boys were going from girl to girl, and orifice to orifice, talking about the boys standing there with their pants open and their (you know what's) hanging out, and about how one of the boys was getting turned on seeing the way the blonde head was moving while she was being forced to do something with her mouth. Not only was it all was very explicit and unnecessary to go into such detail about these child-rapes, but he actually has a line where he says that one of the boys, "f***ed her in her vagina." Unbelievably unprofessional and tacky. How this man is a "best selling author" is beyond me.

Unprofessionally written but keeps your attention
