review 1: When Stacy Peterson vanished without a trace, her husband, retired police sergeant Drew Peterson, steadfastly asserted his innocence and maintained that his wife, thirty years his junior, had run off with her lover. Months passed; exhaustive searches and clues turned up nothing; more questions than answers were raised about their marriage, about Stacy's vocal concerns for her safety, and about Drew Peterson's own bizarre behavior in the limelight as the number-one suspect in his wife's disappearance. Then came yet another shocking development, this time concerning his third wife Kathleen Savio. Three and one half years earlier, her suspicious death had been ruled an accidental drowning, but after a new autopsy it was now ruled as a homicide. A subject of intense media cove... morerage and speculation, the case against Drew Peterson is still unraveling, but one haunting question remains- where on earth is Stacy? (overview Barnes & Noble)***Rate 3/5 An interesting take on the case against Drew Peterson and how he has successfully eluded prosecution on the deaths of 2 of his wives. I felt the book detailed too much information about other crimes that were not related to this one.
review 2: I had mixed emotions about this book. A part of what I read I had already read about in the local papers, but there was a substantial amount of behind the scenes regarding political, neighborhood and interview issues that were not printed in the past that were of interest. After reading "Erased" a month or so ago, I can't seem to wrap my brain around the issue of women "disappearing" without quick response on the part of the authorities. However, I read the book with a mindset that this is an ongoing case and it definitely wouldn't serve justice well to alert everyone of everything. Again, very disturbing subject. less

Rather poorly written and the book doesn't seem to follow a linear thought pattern.
