Review: A Killing in Iowa
Rating: 1 out of 5

This should have been listed as a memoir.  As I read this book, I kept waiting for the truth to come out.  That the murder was a double murder and that Scott was innocent of the crime.  That did not happen.  Why call it "A Story of a Daughter's Love and Murder?"  The title was not applicable.  The writer was not the daughter of the victim, nor the daughter of the ex-boyfriend of her own mother.  The writer was not "in love" nor a party to the murder.  Perhaps the writer can write, but I will remember that I do not wish to read this author again.  There are some things from our past that perhaps should remain there.  I feel for the victim's son that he had to relive the tragedy, including new knowledge of the condition in which his mother was found that fateful day.  The title should have been more revealing of the nature of the written word.
