I thought this was the perfect bookmark for this book. As a Murderino since day one I am so excited to start this. I saw a live show a few weeks ago and I love them even more now. #ssdgm

JackOBotts I‘ve only just started listing to #MFM and am loving it. Of course, I had to start with Episode One...I think I‘m up to 15 now...maybe I‘ll catch up...eventually?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ #SSDGM can‘t wait to see what you (& others) think of this book! 5y
Gayan @JackOBotts I just finished the first chapter and it is everything I thought it would be. Georgia did chapter 1 and since I am a Georgia (I have the shirt to prove it😂) I loved it. (edited) 5y

Mehso-so

I have been reading this book forever. Life sort of got in the way of my reading time. I think that might be the reason I didn't love it. The descriptions of Montana and the woods were beautifully written but I just kept falling out of the story. This is one I might read again in a few years to give it another chance.

Besides being my favorite book of all time this book immediately takes me to Summer in Los Angeles, August 1969. It begins with the line, "It was so quiet, one of the killers would later say, you could almost hear the sound of ice rattling in cocktail shakers in the homes way down the canyon.", and then proceeds to take you on and unbelievable journey into the madness of Charles Manson. #SWEETSUMMERSTACK
