    Synopsis
    The shocking true crime story of one of the most bizarre mass murders ever recorded--and the girl who escaped with her life. In the fall of 2010, in the all-American town of Apple Valley, Ohio, four people disappeared without a trace: Stephanie Sprang; her friend, Tina Maynard; and Tina's two children, thirteen-year-old Sarah and eleven-year-old Kody. Investigators began scouring the area, yet despite an extensive search, no signs of the missing people were discovered. On the fourth day of the search, evidence trickled in about neighborhood "weirdo" Matthew Hoffman. A police SWAT team raided his home and found an extremely disturbing sight: every square inch of the place was filled with leaves and a terrified Sarah Maynard was bound up in the middle of it like some sort of perverted autumn tableau. But there was no trace of the others. Then came Hoffman's confession to an unspeakable crime that went beyond murder and defied all reason. His tale of evil would make Sarah's survival and rescue all the more astonishing--a compelling tribute to a young girl's resilience and courage and to her fierce determination to reclaim her life in the wake of unimaginable trauma., THE STORY OF ONE OF THE MOST BIZARRE MASS MURDERS EVER RECORDED.

    • Very disappointing

      As a lover of true crime, I couldn't wait to read this book but I was thoroughly disappointed. While the events are interesting, its very poorly written. Aside from the numerous misspellings and incorrect grammar, its written much like a junior high essay, very immature writing style. Story was dull and anticlimactic. I definitely would not recommend this book.

    • Quite a Horrifiying Story

      The mystery in this story is less about the who but about the how it could've been prevented and how much it should've been prevented. That's how the crimes this book talks about is. I felt myself feeling sickened as I got to certain pivotal points in this story. Be prepared to feel those same feelings and quite possibly have a lot of in-depth conservations about it if you do pick up this book.
