Perfect Murder, Perfect Town

By: Lawrence Schiller

Narrated by: Ron McLarty

From the author of #1 New York Times bestseller American Tragedy.

Nothing written about the death of JonBenet Ramsey can possibly prepare the listener for the revelations in this audiobook. Here, acclaimed writer Lawrence Schiller reveals for the first time the uncensored true story of the events that unfolded on Christmas night of 1996 and the unthinkable damage suffered by a community in the aftermath. This gripping, definitive account finally answers the question: What happened in the town of Boulder, Colorado?

Perfect Murder, Perfect Town is a brilliant portrait of an inscrutable family thrust under the spotlight of public suspicion and an affluent, tranquil city torn apart by a crime it was not prepared to deal with. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, this is a tour de force that will fascinate listeners for years to come.

It is read by Ron McLarty on four cassettes.

Interesting but too long

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It's too long

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I think there is too much quibbling to explain that the case remained unsolved because the police made faults at the very begining.

What about Ron McLarty’s performance did you like?

On the whole, I enjoyed it.

Do you think Perfect Murder, Perfect Town needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I don't think so.

Interesting, Thorough, and Heartbreaking!

This is an excellent read for all the true crime fanatics out there. Most people are at least somewhat familiar with the case of Jon Benet Ramsey, but to hear so many facts presented as well as this book does really allows the reader to think critically about the case. it's a quick well-written book with as non-biased of an approach to the case as I have found.

Politics

It’s a good book if you want to learn the politics surrounding a high profile murder however if you are here for the evidence and details about the crime, this may not be the right book for you.

Disappointed

Lack of educational/entertainment value. I was wishing for more in-depth analysis of the murder and suspects.

Engaging and Enthralling

This is an extremely good read reading the Ramsey case, which allows the reader to draw their own conclusions reagarding this haunting, unsolved case.
Loved the gritty narration.
