Ron Franscell, bestselling author of “The Darkest Night”

No victims were ever more innocent, no killer more unknowable, no murder more unfathomable. Suzy Spencer weaves the dark threads of mental illness, infanticide, and punishment into a classic true-crime tapestry that is both thorough and gut-wrenching. The tragic but still-unfinished story of Andrea Yates still leaves a lump in your throat.
