Synopsis

Travis Alexander was a handsome, hard-working, practicing Mormon who lived in Mesa, Arizona. His good looks and easygoing manner made him popular with everyone, especially the ladies. So when he was found with a bullet wound in the face and his throat slashed, the brutal murder sent shock waves throughout his community. Who could have done something so sinister?

But soon a suspect was singled out—Jodi Arias. A beautiful, aspiring photographer, Jodi had been in a long-distance relationship with Travis the year before. But Travis wasn't interested in a serious commitment; he was seeing several women during that time. When he broke up with her, that didn't stop Jodi from leaving California, moving to just a few miles away from Travis's home, and inserting herself into his daily life. Investigators found one piece of startling evidence in Travis's home that implicated Jodi. But in a bizarre turn of events, Jodi would claim self-defense. Was she a victim—or a devious femme fatale?

I hate having to say I really liked it for a rating, but it's simply because of how it was written. I was quite surprised of Shanna Hogan's insight into the entire case and its history.

Creepy story, I was interested enough to finish the book. In my opinion both characters were crazy and delusional.......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on November 15, 2013

Perhaps one of the more disturbing true crime books I've read in some time. The warning signs were clear about Arias from the beginning and yet, the intelligent and seemingly successful Alexander ignored them because he was obsessed with having sex with her. His close friends began to question her b......more
