Sleep My Darlings: The True Story of a Mother Who Killed Her Children in Cold Blood by Diane Fanning

informative medium-paced

3.0

This book covers the murders of Calyx and Beau Schenecker. The children were found murdered in their home in Tampa, Florida on January 28, 2011. Police had received a call from the grandmother of the children in regard to a disturbing email sent by their mother, Julie. The father, a Colonel in the US Army, was overseas at the time of the incident. Police found Beau, 13, dead from a gunshot wound in a vehicle in the garage. Calyx, 16, was shot in her bedroom. Julie was located on the back porch, covered in blood. This book outlines the investigation of the murders and was decently researched and easy to follow.
