Length: 9 hrs and 58 mins

Publisher's summary

After killer Shelia Eddy pled guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison and Rachel Shoaf was sentenced to thirty years for second-degree murder, family, friends, investigators, and other key sources reveal the facts you would have learned if the case had gone to trial.

Including specific details drawn from Rachel's confession, Pretty Little Killers looks at the crime through the eyes of the victim and killers, providing intimate testimony from the pages of Rachel's personal journal, Skylar's diary and school papers, and court records. Daleen Berry and Geoffrey C. Fuller examine all this, including previously unreported details about Rachel and Shelia's rumored lesbian relationship, and explain why more than one investigator believes that Skylar's murder was a thrill kill. Most important, Pretty Little Killers provides a satisfying answer to Skylar's final question: "Why?"

"I finally decided to get this....

"Because I had read reviews that were not so great, but I caved because there is nothing else on this case . I agree that it is generic info that doesn't tell the listener any new details and you will only be ingesting the Twitter and Facebook posts Already released .
This book felt so rushed and written so quickly after the tragedy that the book doesn't even include the pleas of the girls.
I hope a more thorough book is published with the answer to the fundamental question that this book did not answer, which is WHY? Why did they do this and "because we didn't like her isn't cutting it." Someone needs to delve deeper into what was going on in the minds of the girls".

Great book

Great Details

Loved it!! Couldn't stop listening and I appreciated all the details!!! Happy I found this

So heartbreaking

I listen to this audiobook to get a better grasp on the crime. I still can’t wrap my head around how to best friends conspired to kill their best friend. This was very well narrated and written.

sad but true and they should of got more time

sad but true I used to live right a round the corner from Skyler and I think them girls should of get a lot worse punishment then they did

Great narrator

The narrator for this book was excellent. The content itself was also compelling, though there were some liberties taken.

Monongahela

Let me get my gripe out of the way—please, narrators, learn how to pronounce proper names!!! It's Muh-non-ga-HEE-la.

Otherwise, an absorbing, thorough account of a bewildering crime. I'm not sure we'll ever know the complete "why" but not for lack of trying on the part of the authors.

A great little free audio book

I was unsure about this book at first however I ended up loving how this story was told. The author did a great job giving all the information and I liked that they used multiple sources.

Okay

I was interested in hearing more about this story because it happened in WV. The book was informative but the narration seemed to drag on. It was monotone or something. Could have been better.

compelling story

the narrator is over theatrical. and hard to listen to. the story is compelling. great book.
