On a beautiful street in Sacramento County, California, three healthy saplings stand side by side. The man who planted these trees did it in honor of three innocent people who were murdered, a mother and her two children. This man was the husband and father of the three victims. He was also the one who killed them.
Can anyone believe that it was only after the fourth death, when the killer’s mother died, that suspicions really got out of hand? You better believe it because that’s exactly what happened. Considering that bruises were found at autopsy on the wife and later when the children also died, surely the case should have been investigated. The tragedy of this story is that the death of the children could have been prevented if the proper concerns had been raised at the autopsy of wife Irene. There were bruises after all.
Carlton Smith wrote this book specifically to engage the reader in evaluating all available evidence and facts. You, as the reader, are involved from start to finish. I felt part of this research and it worked for me. What I couldn’t understand and still can’t understand is how the real people involved didn’t get as angry as I did, and I was just an observer reading this book.
As a general rule, people think that only professions like being a doctor or a nurse involve dealing with people’s lives, but this book made me realize how each profession, if not done well, can have an impact on life. of people and I feel that many people do not weigh the consequences of their actions in relation to the impact that their actions may have on others. However, a person performing an autopsy must really realize the impact of their findings when performing an autopsy. We thought, well, the person is already dead, right? But what about the other people who might later die at the hands of the person who got away with it? Carlton Smith is as always excellent. His ability to draw the reader into his books and live the story is brilliant. This is a common thread in Carlton Smith’s books.
I suggest going online to get reviews from other readers before buying a true crime story book online.
