Her Pretty Face

2.5. I have mixed feelings on this one. It is very clearly based off of the crimes of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, yet the author NEVER mentions this fact.... which really rubs me the wrong way. Kinda feels like the author is profiting from a very, very real and horrific events. I think they at least needed to note the connection.

Just like the character in this book, Karla accepted a plea and said she was forced into the murders by her abusive partner, but later video evidence showed otherwise... she is alive and free to this day, and just like the character in this book- has children. These similiarites are far to0 convienent and yet the author just brushes through it as pure fiction. 3 women are dead at the hands of those horrific killers- those three victims shouldn't be fodder for a thriller plot so clearly derived from their stories.

Aside, this is not written poorly and it did build the suspense well, but the end did seem too fast and had some loose ends that I felt were brushed over.
