I can't say enough about how fascinating this book was! Each chapter reveals new facts and uncovers details that will have the reader thinking twice about who they trust.
Mary and Bill Yoder have spent many happy years together and own their own chiropractic company. Their son's girlfriend, a pretty and reticent college student named Katie, maintains the business aspect so that the Yoder's can pour all their energy into caring for their patients. One day, however, Mary doesn't feel right, and Bill rushes her to the ER. She dies within hours, and the family is left with questions. Was this just a stomach bug gone wrong? Or was it the result of an unfaithful husband, a depressed son, or a trusted family friend?
The author does a phenomenal job of detailing events and relaying people's emotions. I couldn't put this book down, despite having a good idea of who did it early on. The idea that these are real people and this happened only a few years ago is mind boggling. My only complaint is that the timeline jumped around and was a little confusing. Don't let that keep you from reading this book, however, it's fantastic!
Bizarre, twisted, and disturbing, this is a must read for true crime fans.
A huge thank you to the publisher and author for an advanced copy of this book to review.
