An amazing true crime account
This author has done an outstanding job of writing the story of John Joubert, serial child killer. Mr. Pettit wrote Joubert's complete story without deviating into irrelevant areas.
This is somewhat of a horror story, a tragedy from which the young victims' families will never recover, and a thundering cry in favor of the death penalty.
Having read hundreds of true crime stories, I have no hesitation in recommending this book to readers who want to know the entire story of a serial killer's beginning and end.
