Would you recommend this book to a friend? If so, why?

If I knew anyone who liked true crime books I would definitely recommend this book.

Why? I really have always liked books written in the first person. This is rare in true crime books. There are a few, "My Story" by Elizabeth Smart, and "Waiting to Be Heard" by Amanda Knox are a couple examples, but they are almost always written by a third party. This book is written by the step son of one of the two murder victims. He tells the story from the point of view of the family rather than as an impartial bystander. At the same time Keehner is very thorough in his research of the entire story and not just the part that his family was involved in.



What other book might you compare Murder Myself, Murder I Am to and why?

I don't think there is another book that would be a fair comparison.


Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The murderer, Phil Hillman appeared to have beaten the system for the third time and the judge made sure that he would never be a danger to society again by giving him a sentence appropriate to his crimes. I was moved by the relief of the family who feared he may be able to get out and kill again.


Any additional comments?

There are many reviews of this book praising the writing and style of the author. There are many more that praise the book. I can only say I whole-heartedly agree with them all.
