Summary
After killer Shelia Eddy pled guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison and Rachel Shoaf was sentenced to thirty years for second-degree murder, family, friends, investigators, and other key sources reveal the facts you would have learned if the case had gone to trial.
Including specific details drawn from Rachel's confession, Pretty Little Killers looks at the crime through the eyes of the victim and killers, providing intimate testimony from the pages of Rachel's personal journal, Skylar's diary and school papers, and court records. Daleen Berry and Geoffrey C. Fuller examine all this, including previously unreported details about Rachel and Shelia's rumored lesbian relationship, and explain why more than one investigator believes that Skylar's murder was a thrill kill. Most important, Pretty Little Killers provides a satisfying answer to Skylar's final question: "Why?"

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It's a warning to all parents of teenagers, a stark and terrifying one, IWho was your favorite character and why?
The Lad who loved Skylar, he seemed really sweet, kind and genuine.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No, to be honest. I didn't like Skylar, I thought she was demanding, jealous, controlling and someone who would blackmail friends in order to keep them as friends, dangling the threat of exposure like a nasty old carrot. The three girls were typical bratty singletons , and the issues that singletons have when children is a 'mine mine mine' demeanour when they mature the unwillingness to share is just as prevalent and in this case it ended in disaster.Sadness

story, Very Real!
I rarely leave reviews on audible and even more rarely pause the book 2 hrs till the end just so i can post a review.
hence this review.
i am writing this 2 and a bit months after the horrifying slaying of 4 students from a uni in Moscow Idaho.
the hallmarks of the book Pretty Little Killers has so many similarities with the ongoing case in Idaho. whether it be the social media attraction or the silenced hush hush by the UNI itself or the drugs problem that the UNI has, the similarities are overwhelming . this book uncovers more that people realise and those reasons need to be looked into more to avoid other situations arising alike this. whether it be drugs, peer pressure or pure bullying, these Unis need to start caring for their students and addressing these problems rather than hiding them from public view just for stats.
going to read the rest of the book now....
