I didn't know anything about this case before I read this book and I have to say it was very well written. I know that Doug Most wrote the book by making educated guesses as to what actually happened by piecing together all the evidence that he could.
As I read this book I became more and more angrier. I can not believe that these two people could be so heartless as to get rid of their son in such a cruel way. They both deserved to be punished more severely for their crime.

Im a true crime fanatic and this well written account of Amy and Brian's tragic story gripped me from the start.This account of the murder of a baby is unique in that it evoked sympathy and compassion for the "criminals" i so hoped they would be forgiven rather than punished. Overall an excelent read and something a little different for true crime fans.

Another fantastic book. Two teenagers having a baby without anyone knowing. Then murdering the poor baby & throwing it away in the rubish bin like a piece of paper.Even though they were school age this shouldn't have happened. This is a must read. I just cannot get my head around anyone who will kill a child or a baby come to that.
