Title: A cruel book about a cruel crime
Product review: This is the kind of book which gives true crime writing a bad name, indeed I feel that this book is a mere tabloid version of the Shanda Sharer murder case, only it is longer than most tabloid papers. Ms Jones spends too much time delving into the undoubtedly unsavoury backgrounds of Loveless and Tackett, yet shamefully devotes precious few pages to the victim, Shanda, or her family, and what little space that is devoted to Shanda depicts her as a twelve year old tramp who deserved to meet the horrific fate that she did! A much better book about this case is "Little Lost Angel" by Michael Quinlan. Skip this book written by Ms Jones and read Quinlan's book instead. It's much better value for money and is written in a far more even handed and compassionate manner.
