About this listen

Praying for a happy ending, friends and family stood by Laci's grieving husband Scott. Four months later, Laci's decomposed body was found in the murky waters of San Francisco Bay. The body of her child had washed ashore about a mile away, after a possible "coffin birth." It was a sad closure to an exhaustive search, and a grim end to a marriage that by all accounts had appeared to be perfect.

Scott Peterson's behavior had cast a mysterious shadow over the death of his pregnant wife: his alibi on the day of the disappearance was questionable; he admitted to an affair with another woman; and when he was finally charged with capital murder, he had altered his appearance. Almost immediately, the media condemned Scott, even though he maintains his innocence. Is Scott Peterson a victim of circumstantial evidence? Despite the state attorney general's claim of a "slam dunk," the case that has gripped the nation is much more complex, and is yielding even more questions, doubts, accusations, and shocking revelations.

This was, in my opinion, a fantastic insight into the murders of Laci & Connor Peterson. The emotional aspect of the killing & how it impacted the lifes of the families involved made me cry. It definitely needs a read if you are into true crime or studying any aspect of criminology. Awesome.

It was great to hear the account of this case from the perspective of the family. I loved the historical insights surrounding Modesto, and the descriptive writing was wonderful. I felt the pace shifted a gear towards the end, and it felt somewhat rushed - more trial detail would have been good. But on the whole a great read for 'experts' and newcomers to the case alike.
