Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book.
I'm fascinated by true crime stories and trying to learn more about people and their motives. This book was the story behind the crime that took place in Canada where a 24-year-old hired people to kill her parents.
The author did a great job in telling this story as well as letting us glimpse into the family life of Jennifer. Her parents were what some described as "tiger parents," as is popular in the Asian culture of success at all costs. However, that can never be the reason for murder as this book certainly emphasized.
Jennifer's lies were beyond belief - she lied about high school and college graduations and her lies were good enough that her parents believed her. While some might question that, we as parents are programmed to believe the best in our children.
This crime took place in Canada and prosecuted by the Crown. With very little hard evidence, cell phone records were what brought all this to prosecution. Some of that got a little tedious and I could have used a score card to keep up with it all. Also, I'm obviously not versed enough in text talk and so much of this was difficult to understand.
If you like true crime, definitely a book to pick up.
