Pretty Little Killers

The Truth Behind the Savage Murder of Skylar Neese

By: Daleen Berry, Geoffrey C. Fuller

Narrated by: Pam Ward

After killer Shelia Eddy pled guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison and Rachel Shoaf was sentenced to thirty years for second-degree murder, family, friends, investigators, and other key sources reveal the facts you would have learned if the case had gone to trial.

Including specific details drawn from Rachel's confession, Pretty Little Killers looks at the crime through the eyes of the victim and killers, providing intimate testimony from the pages of Rachel's personal journal, Skylar's diary and school papers, and court records. Daleen Berry and Geoffrey C. Fuller examine all this, including previously unreported details about Rachel and Shelia's rumored lesbian relationship, and explain why more than one investigator believes that Skylar's murder was a thrill kill. Most important, Pretty Little Killers provides a satisfying answer to Skylar's final question: "Why?"

Pretty little killers

What a sad true story. Raising kids now days is rough. Those girls killed one of their friends. Good news is they got caught and are paying a hefty price. But one will never be with friends or family again because of them.

Chilling story from my hometown

What did you love best about Pretty Little Killers?

I grew up in Morgantown. It was very disturbing to listen to this book. My hometown is a very different pace than it used to be. I knew people and families involved in these events. It's impossible for me to imagine something like this happening in a place I have mostly fond memories of. Morgantown was once a small town with its own character, but has grown over the years to become a town without identity an nowhere place that contains lost people capable of great evil.

Savage

Saying these girls are savage doesn't do it justice! This book really makes you open your eyes as a parent!
