Dying For Daddy by Carlton Smith – A Book Review About a True Crime
On a beautiful street in Sacramento County, California, three healthy saplings stand side by side. The man who planted these trees did so in honor of three innocent people who were killed, a mother and her two children. This man was the husband and father of the three victims. It was also he who murdered them.
Can anyone believe that only after the fourth death, when the murderer’s mother died, did the suspicions really get out of hand? You better believe it because that’s exactly what happened. Considering that bruises were found with the wife’s autopsy, when the children also died, surely the case should have been investigated. The tragedy of this story is that the deaths of the children could have been prevented if the proper concerns had been raised at the autopsy of wife Irene. After all, there were bruises.
Carlton Smith wrote this book specifically to engage the reader in evaluating all the available evidence and facts. You, as a reader, participate from beginning to end. I felt part of this research and it worked for me. What I couldn’t understand and still can’t understand is how the people involved didn’t get as angry as I did, and I was just an observer reading this book.
People, as a rule, believe that only professions like being a doctor or a nurse involve dealing with people’s lives, but this book made me realize how each profession, if not done well, can have an impact on life. of people and I feel that many people do not weigh the consequences of their actions in relation to the impact that their actions may have on others. However, a person performing an autopsy should really realize the impact of their findings when conducting an autopsy. We think, well, the person is already dead, right? But what about the other people who might later die at the hands of the person who has gotten away with it? Carlton Smith is, as always, excellent. His ability to draw the reader to his books and live the story is brilliant. This is a common thread in the Carlton Smith books.
I suggest going online to see other readers’ reviews before purchasing a true crime story book online.
