Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Big Time Bias
This terribly biased book portrays the West Memphis Three as immediately guilty and evil while glossing over major portions of the case. Skip it and read Devil's Knot and see the movies instead.
Rating:  - A true Account of A Difficult Event
Those who reviewed this book prior to me are MISTAKEN that this book is untrue. It was written by the reporter who was covering this case for the local newspaper during the 2 years it took place.

For those interested in the case of the "West ... Read More
Rating: - The Best Book About the West Memphis 3 Case Yet Written
Written in an objective newspaper style, Blood of Innocents is the single best book yet written about the West Memphis murder case of 1993 in which 3 eight year olds were sadistically murdered, tortured and mutilated.
Unlike the grossly overrated Devil's Knot, this book does not feature any elaborate conspiracy theories about "satanic panic" and police skullduggery. Instead, it lays out the evidence against the 3 criminals and does so in throughly convincing fashion.
