    amazing read - I couldn't help be fascinated even by the characters one shouldn't really give time of day too. The author leads us to consider the darker side with some understanding, and maybe a little sympathy. The subect is harrowing yet the reader is pulled in. I have great admiration for her, the research could not have been easy with a subject such as this and one gets the feeling it is research very well done. Look forward to more from the same source.
