Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was in the courtroom for this entire trial, so it was interesting to see someone else's perspective on this horrendous case. In addition, Smith shares information that was not shared during the trial, which puts an interesting spin on things.
However, this book seems fragmented and is poorly written...perhaps Mr. Smith was attempting to rush to get a book out about Longo first? It is in need of some editing!
Also, I did not appreciate Smith's commentary near the end where he partially blames Longo's faith (and, it seems, faith in general) on what happened.
This is an okay read for people who are fairly familiar with the situation, but I'm not sure anyone not familiar with the case could follow it.

He Looked like the Perfect Dad...Shortly before Christmas of 2001, the bodies of Mary Jane Longo and her three young children, Zachary, Sadie Ann, and Madison were discovered. They'd been murdered and dumped off the Oregon coast in Yaquina and Alsea Bay. The youngest victim was only two years old. Their father, Christian Longo, was missing.And Became One of America's Most WantedWithin days, the twenty-seven-year-old all-American dad was added to the FBI's list of Ten Most Wanted fugitives. As law enforcement officials scoured northern California in pursuit of the suspected family-killer, Longo was already looking for a new job-and a new life-under a new name. Believed to be skilled in identity theft, Christian Longo was on the run. Now investigative reporter Carlton Smith takes a journey into the heart of darkness-from Longo's masquerade as a devotedfamily man and finally to his capture at a beach camp in Mexico-to uncover the unfathomable trail of a deadly master of deception.
