Publisher's summary

In the summer of 2003, the Houston suburb of Clear Lake, Texas, was devastated when four young residents were viciously slain. The two female victims, Tiffany Rowell and Rachael Koloroutis, were just 18 years old - popular and beloved. But when a killer came knocking, it turned out to be someone they knew all too well.

Seventeen-year-old Christine Paolilla was an awkward outsider until the girls befriended her. In this gripping true story, M. William Phelps delves into the heart of a baffling mystery to get to the truth of an act so brutal it could not be understood - until now.

Critic reviews

"An unblinking account of how four American teenagers lost their lives in the most violent way, how their families have suffered, and how an unlikely individual was responsible for causing this terrible crime." ( Library Journal)

Great Writer. Great Narration.

Meticulous recounting of a bizarre incident that occurred in Texas. I couldn't put the book down.

Excellent

Very well researched and narrated. I had heard about this case prior to reading this book. It didn't feel like a repeat of the information that I already knew. There were so many other pertinent details included in the book that shed light on the horror and senselessness of this crime. It definitely kept my interest throughout.

Sad story!

Sad story but I didn't think it was particularly well told. It was fine but not my favorite

He writes as well if not better than Gregg Olsen

What a thoughtfully written book about an absolutely heart breaking crime and all the people affected by it. Beautifully narrated.

Great depiction of brutality

I HATE DRUGS! This is a horrible tragedy told in a heartfelt manner. I really like this author and the narrator was perfect. I could actually feel the pain of the family.

Excellent!

An excellent TRUE CRIME book, in every way--well researched, well-written, and with so much heart and understanding--a good balance of dialog and the author's words--plus excellent narration!

Sad sad girl

As usual M. William Phelps’ account of the people he writes about is fair, honest and detailed reporting. He digs into their lives and gives us insight into their upbringing and the situations that placed them in the middle of a crime. He delves into the victims’ lives and the impact of the crime on their loved ones. He never disappoints.

Superb Coverage of Why 4 Youths were Heartlessly Murdered

This true mystery of 4 young lives cut short (3 were teens and 1 just past 20) on a sunny Texas afternoon baffled the public and Houston Police Department profoundly. The popular 4 friends were just watching television and enjoying each other's company when they were suddenly murdered together. Who could have done this ... and why? is answered in this well-written and thorough police investigation narrated in excellent fashion. There are also human interest chapters about the suffering families longing for justice and the overworked detectives dedicated to solving this case. And by the way--yes, they do! (You will not be left wondering!) The riveting story held my attention well and even the epilogue was interesting for me to read.

Excellent! Heartbreaking.

Very detailed and well written. I could not stop listening to this story, as it was written. This author grabbed my attention; and held on tight.

Wonderful

I already knew this story but thoroughly enjoyed the book anyway, for there are many details a TV depiction don’t include.

You can tell that Mr. Phelps is an experienced true crime writer, because unlike many in this field, he doesn’t bog the reader down with a lot of filler and insignificant details. With that said, I’ve had trouble listening to some of his audiobooks because of the narrator. I LOVE the narrator of this book. I hope the author insists on Keith Sellon-Wright narrating all of his future books.
