## Description

The shocking true crime story of one of the most bizarre mass murders ever recorded--and the girl who escaped with her life.
In the fall of 2010, in the all-American town of Apple Valley, Ohio, four people disappeared without a trace: Stephanie Sprang; her friend, Tina Maynard; and Tina's two children, thirteen-year-old Sarah and eleven-year-old Kody. Investigators began scouring the area, yet despite an extensive search, no signs of the missing people were discovered. On the fourth day of the search, evidence trickled in about neighborhood "weirdo" Matthew Hoffman. A police SWAT team raided his home and found an extremely disturbing sight: every square inch of the place was filled with leaves and a terrified Sarah Maynard was bound up in the middle of it like some sort of perverted autumn tableau. But there was no trace of the others. Then came Hoffman's confession to an unspeakable crime that went beyond murder and defied all reason. His tale of evil would make Sarah's survival and rescue all the more astonishing--a compelling tribute to a young girl's resilience and courage and to her fierce determination to reclaim her life in the wake of unimaginable trauma.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 September 2024*

A must read for true crime fans

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Book
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 July 2013*

I bought this book by mistake clicking on the wrong image, I thought it was a work of fiction thinking I would just give it away as a present. When I received it I realised it was non- fiction and looked like a good read so I decided to keep it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 February 2016*

Too much "padding" with what "he" or "she" said. This used up pages of useless and boring comments. I found myself skipping pages and fast losing interest . A pity as it's a very intriguing true murder. No shock in the reading of it regarding the murders and read so matter of fact. Not a good book sorry.
