Book Reviews of By Their Father's Hand: The True Story of the Wesson Family Massacre

Book Review: Gripping read!
Summary: 5 Stars

This was such an amazing read. Mr. Francis tackled a very difficult subject here with compassion, and riveting detail. I didn't know very much about the Wesson murders eventhough I live close to Fresno, but I feel like I was let in on the family members' lives, without feeling like a voyeur. Mr. Francis' attention to detail, especially in regards to the trial,kept me engaged on both an emotional and intellectual level, from beginning to end. Great read. Period.

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.
