It is hard to get past the first chapter or two of this book. It is clear that the author has fallen in love with Karla Faye, a murderer, and so it makes the whole book seem a bit unreliable. That being said I found this story very interesting. It seems to be one of few accounts of this horrendous murder that does not focus on Karla's religious rehabilitation. This, along with the fact that the author includes a lot of personal stories Karla has told her make me feel like Beverly Lowry might actually be quite credible. Although Karla's story and Beverly's (or should I say Peter's) stories don't seem at all connected the ending tied the two together very well. I'm glad I kept reading after the first chapter!
