"This haunted me from the day I finished it. Such a sad and terrible tragedy. Excellent read, you felt every emotion these people wne through.
P.S. If anyone has a copy they are willing to swap or sell please let me know. Someone actually stole my copy and I've been looking for it ever since."
"I grew up in Essex Junction Vermont at the time of the murders. I was friends with the victims son and my wife knew the Savage family. This sort of murder does not happen in Vermont so it hit the community hard. This also was the first crime in Vermont in where one killer was a minor and the other was a year older and an adult. This book is a quick read and hard to put down....gruesome and bone shivering to me because I knew many people in the book."
"Every Vermonter should read this book. This one hit way too close to home. The age of the victims and the assailants is shocking. It can happen here. It is the only book I have ever read that has scared me and I've read scary books about Jack the Ripper, Hannibal Lector, etc."
