On facebook someone mentioned a book called The Cadet Murder case by AW Gray. The title vaguely sounded familiar so I looked it up and discovered i was right. I had read a book about the so called cadet murder but searching my shelves on Goodreads I did not get any result. So I went back to bookcrossing where I registered my books before GR and bingo. I had read it.

This is my what childish review. Bare with me please :)

7 out of 10

Well I read this book pretty quick and it left me a bit disappointed.
It has never happened to me before that the writer does not even tell what punishment the criminals received so I was surprised.
You read and read, From the beginning when the name Diana Zimona was mentioned it sounded so familiar. I think I saw a documentary on discovery Channel about this case and I remember watching her testify at the trial. To bad I do not remember the outcome but after reading this book I still feel she is the one who started all this, because she was so jealous. I also believe her parents did know about it, that she confessed it to them and they did nothing but pray.


I was very pleased the book was about this story because I did not know that when I accepted but the book let me down though.

The writer continually repeats himself. I also agree with Scram about the "Gee, he was such a nice guy and Gee she was so determined to succeed stuff"

I think this book was written mainly to earn some quick money ,and it was not the main goal to write a good book.

It was a quick read though but a big disappointment to the end. I think it was all hear say this writer has based this book on.

Anyway I am happy to have been able to read it my friends
I will give this book a 7 only because it is a very interesting story ( )

This was good. It told all about the crime. It was published before the trial, so you do not know how this was resolved from the book. ( )
