Author: Brian McDonald
Amazon Rating: 1.5 Stars
Back in 2007 a family was taken hostage in Cheshire, CT. The three women were killed while the father was left to be burned alive until he was rescued. Now, an author has written a book after interviewing one of the murderers and it is being released.
In Cheshire, CT last night there was a meeting at the library to see if they would choose to purchase the book. They voted and the book was allowed to be purchased by the town.

I won't be reading the book. I personally think that the author is a horrible person for writing the story. It is the murderer's perspective of the events that occurred. I certainly defend his right to write it, but I am ashamed that the town's library would purchase it. The profits from that literature don't go to the family, they go to an asshole who is exploiting a horrible situation.
