About this ebook

Yeardley Love was a star athlete and student with her whole life ahead of her. Born into a
world of privilege, Yeardley was exceptionally modest and generous. She was adored by many, especially the members of her lacrosse team at the University of Virginia, where she won the heart of another lacrosse player: George Huguely V.

As champion athletes, Yeardley and George were a celebrity couple at UVA. But George's hard partying, hostile behavior, and jealousy proved too much for Yeardley. Then, just one month before graduation, Yeardley's lifeless body was found in her campus apartment...

According to an affidavit, George admitted to bashing down her door and hitting her head against a wall. Did he intend to kill her? His lawyer claimed Yeardley's death was at most an accident. But as investigators uncovered more about George's past, they learned he was no stranger to violence: He was involved in at least two prior episodes of alcohol-fueled assault. And despite George's elite origins and seemingly perfect young life, police insist he was a time bomb about to explode...This is the true story of two young lovers and one All-American Murder.

Ratings and reviews

Usually I do not write reviews. I wanted to give a caveat of buyer beware. This book is NOT about this murder case. More then half the book details the elite society of lacrosse, domestic violence and snippets if other murders. Very little about this actual case. I do NOT reccomend buying the book if you are interested in the case.
