Kristyn's Reviews > Cruel Sacrifice

If you're not familiar with the Shanda Sharer case, it is absolutely heartbreaking. Shanda was only 12 when she was tortured and murdered by girls only a few years older than her. This book really delves into the perpetrators and their lives before and after the murder. There isn't a whole lot about Shanda's life before that night. I'm not sure what Jones was trying to do here, but a lot of it was repetitive with the same confessions and testimonies rehashed several times. If you are interested in this case, this is a decent book but I feel it could have spent more time on Shanda and her life.
