Review: Long, detailed read from the perspective of the police investigators
Rating: 3 out of 5

I was not impressed with the style of writing. Much of the book is spent delving deep into the personalities of the main characters and their associates. I never understood if the families were really suburbanites, as they seemed to associate with low class drug users, especially the wife. Very little on the actual crime. After the crime, much is spent on the police investigation.  I felt the book was very long and drawn out. The slang terminology and the titles for the police investigators were that of Australia, so in many cases, not understood. The wife was portrayed as someone who slept around with everyone, including the guards in prison. I think the book would have been helped with additional information of present day - the murderers in jail and if they are rehabilitating, the families, etc.
