Book Reviews of By Their Father's Hand: The True Story of the Wesson Family Massacre
Book Review: Boring account of bizarre family
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this book to be boring. I could not finish it, and it's a short book. Unfortunate, because the story seemed intriguing (and disgusting). I just didn't care for the writing style.
Summary of By Their Father's Hand: The True Story of the Wesson Family Massacre
Neighbors were unaware of what went on behind the tightly closed doors of a house in Fresno, California—the home of an imposing, 300-pound Marcus Wesson, his wife, children, nieces, and grandchildren. But on March 12, 2004, gunshots were heard inside the Wesson home, and police officers responding to what they believed was a routine domestic disturbance were horrified by the senseless carnage they discovered when they entered.
By Their Father's Hand is a chilling true story of incest, abuse, madness, and murder, and one family's terrible and ultimately fatal ordeal at the hands of a powerful, manipulative man—a cultist who envisioned vengeful gods and vampires, and totally controlled those closest to him before their world came to a brutal and bloody halt.
