Link to buy Pretty Little Killers: The Truth Behind the Savage Murder of Skylar Neese
Story Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Review:
This book tells a tale of a horrific murder and teaches the lesson to trust no one. If this story was presented in a movie many people would say "Come on, are you kidding me?" But this very aspect is what makes this book a page turner. Can these girl killers and their victim be for real?
What sets this story apart is the social media angle. There have been murders committed in the past where someone sends an email to another about the crime. Some killers have kept written diaries describing all the gruesome details. But in this instance all the tweets, texts, and calls make this even more interesting. Following the social media you can see a diary as the murder was planned, executed, and covered up. And after reading this book you have to wonder what were these girls thinking.
In my opinion they absolutely would have gotten caught at some point. The electronic forensic trail was leading right towards them without anyone confessing. The murder takes place on July 6, 2012 and by February 2013 both girls had been sentenced. Most murder cases don't have guilty pleas and case closure this fast unless there is overwhelming evidence. In many cases that are solved the killer just can't keep their mouth shut. In this case the killers just couldn't stay off of social media.
