Synopsis

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?"

Goodreads review by Kristen on July 14, 2014

It's so sad reading this because I knew this girl personally. I was even friends with Rachel.

Goodreads review by Michelle on September 11, 2014

My rating is not meant to diminish the heinous crime committed against Skylar, but is merely my opinion on the quality if the work. Throughout the book, I kept thinking that it was just a really poor attempt to capitalize on a compelling, disturbing story. There were many things, such as the inclusi......more

Goodreads review by The Romance Book Disciple (Samantha) on January 07, 2017

Link to full review below! While the story is interesting, the authors took some liberties with the story when trying to fill in gaps. When a book is non-fiction, I feel that conjectures of what 'the car ride might have been like for the girls' is not welcome. Also, a lot of emphasis was placed on p......more

I first watched the Dateline program about this story and I was in so much shock that I had to order the book and read the story to find out what really happened to Skylar Neese. After reading about Skylar I could not believe that best friends cou......more
