It's ok if you knew nothing about the case before
I didn't watch every day of coverage on court tv. I did follow the case fairly close though because my own son was born shortly before Laci and Connor went missing and I could only imagine how Sharon felt and was truly puzzled by Scott's lack of reaction as the case played out. First let me say that I do like Catherine Crier's show. I bought this book because she has a quality show and I really expected this book to be deeper than it was. I almost returned it to the bookstore after the first two chapters. I was bored stiff because there was just nothing new there. I am not generally one to put a book down unfinished so I persisted. I'm glad I did. It did get a little better. I did find some of the recordings between Scott and his parents interesting. I will say that she organized her book in a chronological order of events and conversations which really highlighted Scott's lies and built the case against him. I believe Catherine was as factual in her book as she could be. Ultimately I agree with one of the jurors, Scott was convicted because of his own actions after Laci went missing. Not once did he act like a truly grieving, expecting his wife to return, husband and father-to-be. You could actually get more information about Scott and Laci from the website claiming that Scott is innocent than you get in Catherine's book. (Although it is beyond me how the lady that put that site together is still convinced that he is innocent!) I believe that I will return this book because I doubt I'll read it again. Read it, but check it out from the library.
