Publisher's Summary
Bright, attractive, and both from good families, University of Texas college student Colton Pitonyak and vibrant redhead Jennifer Cave had the world at their beckoning. Cave, an ex-cheerleader, had just landed an exciting new job, while a big-money scholarship to UT's prestigious business school lured Pitonyak to Austin. Yet the former altar boy had a dark, unpredictable streak, one that ensnared him in the perilous underworld of drugs and guns. When Jennifer failed to show up for work on August 18, 2005, her mother became frightened. Sharon Cave's search led to Colton's West Campus apartment, where Jennifer's family discovered a scene worthy of the grisliest horror movie. Meanwhile, Colton Pitonyak was nowhere to be found.
A Descent into Hell is the gripping, true story of one of the most brutal slayings in UT history - and the wild "Bonnie and Clyde-like" flight from justice of a cold-blooded young killer and his would-be girlfriend, who claimed that her unquestioning allegiance to Pitonyak was "just the way I roll".

"Fascinating Account of Heinous Crime"
Where does A Descent into Hell rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?I would rank this book in my top Five of all crime novels written in the past 20 years!
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?The lead-in to the crime usually involves a good bit of tedium in these books, not here, the narrator paints a vivid pre-crime atmosphere.
What does Gillian Vance bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The narrator adeptly brings the characters to life and draws the listener in immediately. Great Job!
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?It was concerning to learn the ambivalence the murderer and his accomplice showed toward the victim.
Any additional comments?I would really like to hear more from this author and narrator on other true crime events.

"pretty good for true-crime lovers."
Would you listen to A Descent into Hell again? Why?not if there were other books to listen to. it was good as far as it goes. i myself do not fall in love with this type of book!
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?the story itself was compelling but depressing. how some very privileged kids were able to just go their wild ways and sink into some evil depths, without those in authority being more aware, and intervening. i blame the parents of the main perp, colton, for not being more in control of this kid. the girl involved was more of the victim. i guess her mother and sister did see some of what was happening, and did try to intervene. but that could go only so far, because the victim was living away at college. what happened to the victim was any mother's perfect nightmare.
Which scene was your favorite?NO favorite scenes in this horrible story~
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?the book title says it all: descent into hell.
