A Family Erased: The Chris Watts Case and the Murders of Shanann, Bella, and Celeste Watts
A pregnant wife. Two little girls. A husband asking for them to come home.
In August 2018, Shanann Watts returned from a work trip to the Colorado home she shared with her husband, Chris, and their daughters, Bella and Celeste. By the next afternoon, all three were missing.
Their car was still there. Shanann’s belongings were inside. Her friends knew something was wrong. And as police began piecing together the final hours inside the house on Saratoga Trail, the story Chris Watts was telling became harder to believe.
A Family Erased follows the Chris Watts case from the marriage behind the social-media photographs through the frantic search, the investigation, and the revelations that stunned the country.
A documented true-crime account of a family that appeared ordinary from the outside, and the secrets that were already tearing it apart.

Finally, A Chris Watts book that has been researched. For those just getting into this case, this is a great book to read. The author did detail all the pertinent info and it's done neutrally. There was only one mistake..?Shannan could not have been k**lied as soon as she walked because she was found with a t shirt and thong, so she had enough time to change.
Writing style is a joy to read.
