A Deadly Game
This is a terrific book to read. It makes you feel as though you were a part of the
investigation
and really gives great detail. Another one which is a must read is "For Laci" What an incredible tribute to her daughter.
, Factual information, read this book before any others
This book is the best book I have read on the
Peterson case
. Very informitive and good reading. I believe that if this was the first book that I read on the Peterson case I would not have read any others. If you want facts then this is the book for you.

Great read... where's the editor?
I couldn't put this book down, and at times my mouth was literally hanging open in shock. But please, this is some of the worst editing I've ever seen and it made it hard to stay focused on the text. A real let down in that sense.

A great book about "the murderer next door"
Ms. Crier has done an amazing job with this book. I read it in 2 days. It was so chilling, I could not put it down. I've read many of the other books about this crime and this is certainly the best one of them.
Peterson's guilt
was rather clear to the police and to a lot of people close to the scene (probably including his own family) from the start. But at least until the bodies were found, it was difficult to put the finger on the proof. After reading this book, I was able to count well over 300 different clues and signs that point to his terrible guilt! When someone is guilty, one often can see it in every move they make and in every word they speak. This book was able to convey this in a very natural and objective way. Even if you never heard of this murder trial, I still highly recommend it as it is a "great"
story
. There are many reasons this story became so widely known and why it is so chilling. But most of all, because it is a classic story about the "murderer next door".

A chilling look into the real-life of a true sociopath
Although I am a horror aficionado, this book chilled me more than the grossest fictional tale ... because it's true. Catherine Crier brings this true-crime to life using a solid voice, chronological timeline, smooth prose, and an insight that can only from a strong legal and journalistic background.
Crier was involved with the
investigation from
day one, and while admitting that she believed there was something wrong with
Scott from
the very beginning, her beliefs did not prejudice the telling of the
story
. I say this because her beliefs tended to follow the public escalation of concern over the behaviors of Scott
Peterson during
the time his wife was missing.
What this book offers above the previous media coverage are events, evidence, conversations, behaviors, and insights that never hit the media circus before or during the trial. If you believed Peterson was guilty before, there will be no doubts left in your mind after reading what went on behind the scenes of his heinous crime and sociopathic actions. Laci's murder was premeditated, as Scott admits in an admissible court record to his girlfriend that "he lost his wife" while Laci was still alive and awaiting the birth of her baby.
This book is a true-life horror story, the protagonist being Scott Peterson, one of the coldest, most soulless personalities I have ever read about in either fiction or non-fiction. The book contains eight pages of color photographs and nineteen pages (in black and white) of evidence submitted to the courts. If you ever had any doubts, I strongly urge you to read this book. While gruesome, it is well written and will keep you up reading long into the wee hours of the morning. Lock your doors. Enjoy!
