About this ebook

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Catherine Crier, a former judge and one of television's most popular legal analysts, offers a riveting and authoritative account of one of the most memorable crime dramas of our time: the murder of Laci Peterson at the hands of her husband, Scott, on Christmas Eve 2002. Drawing on extensive interviews with key witnesses and lead investigators, as well as secret evidence files that never made it to trial, Crier traces Scott's bizarre behavior; shares dozens of transcripts of Scott's chilling and incriminating phone conversations; offers accounts of Scott's womanizing from two former mistresses before Amber Frey; and includes scores of never-before-seen police photos, documents, and other evidence.

The result is thoroughly engrossing yet highly disturbing -- an unforgettable portrait of a charming, yet deeply sociopathic, killer.

Ratings and reviews

The spelling is terrible and on every page, for example " act of telhng a He, such as feehngs of guih or shame," and the dash symbol appears in the middle of words a lot! If you can look past that it's a good read.

I liked the book but am astonshed at all the grammatical errors throughout the entire book, so many words that were 'hyphenated' that should not have been and words that are misspelled, didn't anyone proofread this before printing? A book written by Catherine Crier and so many mistakes?

Interesting book. However, I don't think I've ever read a published book with so many typos; literally every single page.
