Disappointing to say the least . . .

I was very disappointed in this book -- unfortunately I paid the full $30 for it while on vacation -- and have regretted it ever since. There was really not much new in it that we did not already know from Court TV's reporting during the trial. I too found many typographical errors and errors in timelines that would have been caught with a careful reading by a good (or even fair) editor/proofreader. I also didn't feel that the photographic evidence and photos were very well outlined. Many of them had vague statements under them and were never really referred to in the book. I put it down feeling disappointed as I had expected more information and explanation.

Many Typos and Errors

As an avid Court Tv watcher, I am very impressed with the intelligent reporting of Catherine Crier although during the Peterson trial I think they all at Court Tv were a bit too biased in implying Scott's guilt before the trial had reached a conclusion.
About the book, it is very well written, but there are many errors and typos that are pretty obvious. I think the book could have been even better had more time been taken to review and proofread it (ie it gives Laci's age as 26 in one spot and 27 in the other, this type of error is all over the book and takes away from its effectivness and credibility). All in all though, I think it gives us a closer look at who Scott actually is and who Laci was, but still has not convinced me that Scott is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on my opinion that Court TV was biased during the trial aside from Beth Karas, she was fair in her reporting.

The most information and compelling read

I've read Amber Frey's book and Anne Bird's also, but this book by Catherine Crier is by far superior. It has complete and timeline worthy information and is never dull. It rarely even touches on the other 2 books except for transcripts of telephone conversation, which is obviously unavoidable. I did feel that it was obvious she thought he was guilty but still conveyed information on a semi-non-biased front.

Some of the evidence presented, I thought, deserved a closer, longer look at. Such as the marina pass Scott purchased on the 20th for use on the 22nd and 23rd, but when he told investigators that deciding to go fishing instead of golfing was a 'Morning Decision', that was pretty obvious that it wasn't.

Good book, very informative.

Revealing

When the case finally ended anD death row was his faTe, a little voice kept haunting me, "what if he didn't do it..he is going to die." After reAding Ms Crier's book there is no doubt in my mind at all. He did kill Laci - HE PLANNED IT OUT, HE KILLED HER 2 DAYS AFTER THEY FOUND THEY WERE HAVING A BABY BOY...I can't believe anyone could do such a terrible thing, and the only apparent reason was he decided he didn't want a wife and a baby-like Mrs. Rocha said'"divorce was always an option.."Not for Scott Peterson.
