From the Back Cover
MISSING: Two young girls from the same neighborhood.
Ashley Pond was only twelve years old when she vanished from a school bus stop in a town south of Portland, Oregon. As a shocked community came together and police began a frantic search, another tragedy was just about to take place.
No one believed that evil could be so close to home…
Miranda Gaddis was Ashley's best friend. Just two months after Ashley's disappearance, Miranda was on her way to school when she, too, was abducted. Nobody knew the scandalous, unspeakable secret that the two girls shared…except for one man who lived just one block away.
Until a heroic grandmother brought a killer to justice.
The police and FBI managed to overlook the girls' neighbor whose daughter was a friend of Miranda and Ashley's―and who had a catalog of sexual-assault allegations behind him. Author Linda O'Neal was a private investigator intimately involved in this shocking case. Now, she and her co-authors―also participants in the case―tell the chilling story of one town's devastating loss…and how the murderer was finally found.

This is NOT a True Crime Book, Not Even a Biography
By Kim Bryan
Somewhere among all the egotistical blather of Linda O'Neal and her whipped husband, Philip Tennyson, there is a true crime story; that of Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis who made national headlines when they disappeared from their Oregon City homes two months apart. It was later determined, after a disorganized, completely fumbled investigation by local law enforcement and FBI, that Ward Weaver had murdered these young teenager girls to hide his secrets of pedophilia.
Unfortunately, in this 372 page book, only about half of those pages are dedicated to the story. The remainder is non-stop bragging by O'Neal about her husband, his toys, her meetings with friends, or her mother's onset of Alzhemiers. Not to mention the times that Linda O'Neal attempts to show us what a wonderful person she is by being so supportive of Lori Pond, Ashley's mother, when the rest of the world can see that this woman should be called "Mother" only because she gave birth, not by her child-rearing skills by far.
Lastly, O'Neals boasting about how she led the FBI to Weaver is a farce. It was Weaver's own actions when attempted to rape his son's girlfriend that led the FBI and local law enforcement to take a harder look at him as a suspect in the girls' disappearances. O'Neal can boast all she wants, but it's an outright lie. In my opinion, simply an attempt to boost business for her private investigations business.
I would not recommend this book for anyone unless you like a story, within a story, within a story that has no basis for being tied into one another. I'd rather read a Harlequin Romance than to read another book like this!

COULD have been fascinating--it's a shame, really
By Sharon Yvonne
This is without a doubt one of the most amateurishly written yet professionally published books I've ever attempted to force myself to slog through. The story itself, a yarn about a private dectetive investigating the mysterious disappearance of two abducted children, has the requisite amount of pathos and mystery to form the basis of a real page turner, which is the only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of just one. Unfortunately, the best raw material in the world does not write itself, and in this case, the lacking element was the services of a ghost writer who actually knew his or her craft. Unfortunately, the publisher and authors did not avail themselves of those services, and the result is a book that reads like it was written by a sixth grader. This publisher must have had extremely low standards or perhaps just been really desperate to get something about this particular crime into print. Probably both. It remains to be seen whether I'm going to be able to get all the way through it or not. The only reason I've stayed with it this long is that I really want to see how the bastard who killed those little girls finally got nailed. Only for hard core true crime fans with a high tolerance for really bad writing.

Wow, is this written poorly
By Marilyn Sullivan
I have read thousands of true crime books and this is the second-worst I have ever read, in terms of the writing. That's saying a lot, considering that the genre is not generally known for its artistic quality. I found it almost unreadable. It's very difficult to follow the story because of the confusing references, constant switching of voices and tenses, and general lack of literary imagination. Details are thrown in that add nothing to the story. It is just a hopeless mish-mash.
As the previous reviewer noted, this could have been a decent book. It has a lot of the elements of a typical true-crime story: murder, innocent victims, deviants, mystery. Too bad they don't come together here. Don't wast your time.
