The leading cause of death in pregnant women is murder!

Knowing that the leading cause of death in pregnant women is murder, you have to wonder why this particular case commanded so much of the public's attention; on the other hand, I wonder why that equally shocking statistic hasn't done so as well. This case it what it took to shine some light on that apallingly ugly truth.
If you are looking for some insight into Scott Peterson, there is none here nor is there any into his fascinating & puzzling parents.
If you wonder why the public's attention was captured you need only to look upon the charismatic & smiling faces of the two people most involved, Scott & Laci. Then remember that Laci was 8 months pregnant & that it was Christmas & you have a story that holds the utmost fascination, that of a Christmas tableau gone horribly wrong.
I imagine that Scott never realized that the story would take on a life of it's own & that he would become entangled in it & the public's fascination with it. If he hoped Laci & the baby would soon be forgotten as a "cold case", he was very mistaken & is now paying for his cold-hearted crime by residing on death row awaiting execution. His parents are paying too, for the way they treated their "golden boy" and covered or dismissed his every miscalculated move. They are paying financially & emotionally & have to live with Scott's actions & their reactions to them. Many of the things they said during the course of the search for Laci & then the trial are just now brought to light in this book. Their son bankrupted them in more ways than one.
Laci's family carries a double burden too; they've been deprived of their daughter & their unborn grandson by a cruel & selfish murder. You heart breaks for them & their family & the knowledge & the doubt that they will carry for the rest of their lives.
There are a few things in this book that have not been revealed before & they are of intetrest. If you hadn't followed this case on a daily basis & known most of what was happening as it occurred, then you might want to read this book to "come up to speed". Just don't expect to come away from reading this book with understanding & comprehension; it's just not there.

A Great Read

Having covered this case from Day One, Catherine Crier has unparalleled insight and sources. Judge Crier expertly weaves forensic evidence, telephone transcripts, and first hand accounts into a riveting tale in no way diminished by the fact that the reader already knows exactly how the trial portion of the case concludes. I could not put this book down.

Much of the body of information Crier produces was not or could not be admitted during the court proceeding itself. For the first time one is able to view State of California v. Scott Peterson from the perspective of the investigators, the prosecution, the defense, and the parties themselves. Simultaneously intimate and professional, the book includes never before published photographs, documents, and interviews. I was particularly intrigued by the stunning differences in comportment between Laci's and Scott's families, as well as "tidbits" gleaned from third party witnesses.

For example, well in advance of the murders Scott detailed how he would conceal a dead body by weighting it and dropping it in San Francisco Bay. Laci knew about Scott's infidelities from early in her marriage. And throughout his adult years, Scott had a pattern of leading a double or even triple life filled with fantasy, manipulation, and deception.

Whether you are examining the Peterson case vicariously or studiously, this book should be in your library.

A Deadly Game

Excellent. Factual, As on TV, Catherine Crier tells it like it is.

Catherine Crier is very biased

The book is a very good read. However, some of the perspectives of the the author, Catherine Crier, are very biased. Here's one statement, which concludes my argument. She states that Scott Peterson should have known which jewelry Laci was wearing the day she went missing. This is obscure to me. On any given day, you can call my husband and ask him what jewelry I am wearing. I will bet you he has no idea. Does this make him a murderer? There are other similar statements throghout the book, which are just as ambiguous.

There is no doubt in my mind that Scott murdered his wife, but her perspective is based on circumstancial data only. Because of this, our judicial system scares me.
