Fact or fiction???

This book was very intriguing and sucked me in by the second chapter. Because the author is a known forensic pathologist, I felt that the book would reflect an accurate assessment of the crime. However, After new evidence has been released regarding this case, I have come to realize that this forensic pathologist has simply written a fictional story in hopes of garnering fame. Regardless, It's a great story.

Good audiobook on a baffling cold case

I’m an avid reader of true crime books, but I hadn’t thought about the famous JonBenet story in years. I decided to go back to it, to learn more about this unsolved case. This audiobook gave me new information about the case. The thorough autopsy evaluation by Dr. Wecht provided some new insights for me. And I agree with the doctor’s findings that this murder was committed by someone inside the house. The book went into details about John and Patsy’s evasive behavior towards the police, along with other ways they were uncooperative.

sad story of murder

No child should have to face death at a young age. Whom ever killed her should have been caught, the police did not do a good job with the evidence and allowed others to trample all over the crime scene

I think that the parents did it.

No questions answered

This book has a very misleading title. I thought there would be new evidence or possible suspects but I was wrong. This is very repetitive

Repetitive

I feel like the whole book could have been summed up in three chapters. Thorough, yes, but very repetitive. I had to keep checking to make sure I didn't accidentally rewind it.

Full picture analysis

This book was very detailed and gave all of the facts. I've done some research on the case myself and everything was very accurate and well written. Although the story is of course awful and sad, the book was great.

But really... who killed JonBenet Ramsey?

While I appreciate the detail with which Wecht explored the death and subsequent investigation into the case of JonBenet Ramsey, I was not a fan of this book. His insistence on referencing himself in the third person as “Dr. Cyril Wecht” every time he offered a personal insight or recollection into the case came across-at least to me-as self-indulgent. Furthermore, I expected the authors to establish a legitimate theory of their own once they discounted all other theories at the end of the book. Unfortunately when I finished listening, I was left with the title question still unanswered: who actually killed JonBenet Ramsey?

New information

I was hesitant to buy the book thinking I've heard everything. In the first 5 minutes I found out things I haven't heard before.

Dry but comprehensive

This is a good, though dry, compilation of the facts. Late additions were kind of awkwardly and maybe hastily tacked on at the end, wish more time and discussion had been devoted to them. But, for those still intrigued by this tragic case, or those just getting interested, it is full of good information and informed evaluation.

Unflinching truth

I have read several books on the story of the little beauty queen from a well-to-do family in Colorado. The previous books were from a police or detective viewpoint. This book revealed truth more and more in depth with each chapter. There were various reasons the public viewed through the glass darkly. However, the renowned author lived up to his legacy by sorting through the hidden details to reach the truth of Jonbenet’s tragic last night. She was buried in a tiara and pageant gown. Her little face and neck were covered in make-up. The curtain was drawn closed on the stage she once pranced across. She left all of us to ponder our own sensibilities about how we treat little girls.
