Synopsis
On November 12, 1998 in San Luis Obispo, California, attractive blonde college student Rachel Newhouse was walking home when a stranger appeared in front of her. His visage was a skull-face - a grotesque Halloween mask. This work gives a shocking account of rape, torture, and murder on the California coast.

Ann Rule, step aside! There's a new true crime King in town!, 28 Jan 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead and Buried (Paperback)
With only his second true crime book, Corey Mitchell has officially supplanted Ann Rule as the leading voice of true crime. Mitchell's incredibly detailed book on the Rex Krebs murder case is fascinating and provides a much needed breath of fresh air in what has become an increasingly stale genre. There are so many levels to this book that it will stay with you for weeks after you have closed it. Rape, abuse, lax parole reviews, personal safety, and alcoholism are just some of the few topics discussed here. And to top it off, Mitchell has written the first truly scary true crime book in years. I found myself awake at 4:00 AM two nights in a row while reading and could not go to sleep. This truly tragic story needs to be read by everyone. And DEAD AND BURIED should be receiving all kinds of attention and awards. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book now!!

Best true crime I've read in a long time, 22 Jan 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead and Buried (Paperback)
I have been looking for a good true crime book for a long time. Something I could really get into and not want to put down. I didn't get a good book.....what I got was a great book. Well written it kept me interested from start to finish. I have read so much nonsense that I was begining to wonder if anyone would ever write another good true crime. Mr. Mitchell explained the story in such a way that in some instances you could feel what was about to happen. While I have no sympathy for Rex Krebs, I feel his parents should be sitting next to him on death row. In my opinion, it was the two of them who helped create the monster in Rex Krebs. It's a cautionary tale for women that the boogeyman does exist and he could be around the bend or outside your window.

Fascinating Read, 30 Nov 2003
By Lucas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead and Buried (Paperback)
Dead and Buried is the best true crime book I have ever read. Corey Mitchell's easy to read style of writing and extensive research made this a book I could not put down. He gave you detailed and interesting background information on Krebs as well as the police interrogations. This book reads like a novel, and you feel like you get to know Krebs as well as the victims and their families. I highly recommend this book whether you are a true crime reader or not!
