For nearly nine years, Theresa Cross Knorr got away with murder, until her youngest daughter, Terry Knorr Graves, finally found a cop who believed the incredible story of her two murdered sisters.?That story is all here, the shocking life of a woman whose violence, jealousy, rage, and domination led to a brutally heinous crime of ruthless ferocity.

Amazon.com Review "Theresa Cross was a toxic mother, but the maternity myth blinded, deafened, and silenced those that might have stopped her." Dennis McDougal, with his flair for storytelling and his eye for vivid detail, is one of the best of true crime writers. In this book he profiles a very dark character indeed: a woman for whom neither her life nor her fantasies ever got beyond her sad, narrow world of severe men, twisted religious ideas, beatings, sexual jealousy, horror fiction and movies, and obsessive housecleaning. She had several husbands, one of whom she killed, until she ended up as a single mother with two boys and three girls. Then she began to torture and kill the girls, one after another, as they became old enough that their beauty made her angry. Prepare to enter a closed-off realm of nightmare, when you read this one.

I can't believe the horror the kids had to go through just to live in Teressa's twisted world and the scars it left on her children into adulthood. Upon reading it, I had nightmares for a while. This is the only book that has had that much of an impact on me, I still find it amazing. The author, I think, does a fantastic job with detailing scenery, dialogue, etc. It's a wonderful book. Too bad it's true...
15 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Shocking and disturbing By A Customer I found the book to be very interesting, however, I feel like the book does not have an end. Most books of this nature provide a full ending to the story. This story has no ending for the reader. I'm sure that anyone else who reads this book will agree that they are left in suspense. I want to know what happened to Theresa Cross after she was initially arrested. I would like to read about the court case and what transpired while in the court room. At the very least, I would like to know what her sentence was. I have looked on the internet and have not been successful in finding any pertinent information regarding Theresa Cross. I would really like to see a sequel to the book, Mother's Day. According to the other reviews, the story was also discussed on a talk show. Does anyone know the name of the talk show? I would like to get the transcripts and would like to know that this disturbed lady got what she deserved....
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Good writing By A Customer Well, Dennis, you're good! Great book that kept me turning the pages. When the first crime was so early in the book, I couldn't imagine what the rest of the book was about. Oh my... page after page of crimes that go on for years! Really enjoyed the author's writing style and the way the story was delivered. Thanks, Dennis! Keep writing!
