Murder In The Family (Pinnacle True
Crime) by Burl Barer
Shocking And Pummels The Senses!
On March 15th, 1987 police in Anchorage, Alaska arrived at a horrific
scene of carnage. In a modest downtown apartment, they found Nancy
Newmans brutally beaten corpse sprawled across her bed. In another
room were the bodies of her eight-year-old daughter, Melissa, and her
three-year-old, Angie, whose throat was slit from ear to ear. Both Nancy
and Melissa had been sexually assaulted. 23-year-old Kirby Anthoney was
a troubled drifter who had turned to his uncle, John Newman, Nancys
husband. But little did John know that the nephew he took in was a
murderous sociopath capable of slaughtering his beloved. But while police
built their cases, Kirby bolted for the Canadian border. First they hunted
him down. Then, authorities began their long, bitter battle to convict him.
But justice would not be done until Kirby Anthoney took the stand in his
own defence - and showed the world the monster he truly was.

Personal Review: Murder In The Family (Pinnacle True Crime)
by Burl Barer
Burl Barer has, in the past few years, distinguished himself as America's
premier investigative true crime journalist. MURDER IN THE FAMILY was
his first "serious" true crime book, following his vastly amusing MAN
OVERBOARD: THE COUNTERFEIT RESURRECTION OF PHIL
CHAMPAGNE. While Barer has followed MURDER IN THE FAMILY with
several more well written and heart breaking stories, there is something
about MURDER IN THE FAMILY that lifts it above and beyond other true
crime books -- perhaps it's Barer's brilliant narrative, the insightful
background material discovered in his personal investigation into the
crime, or the nature of the crime and the manner in which rapist/murderer
Kirby Anthoney was brought to justice. Whatever the reason, MURDER IN
THE FAMILY remains perhaps one of the most emotionally involving true
crime books ever written. If you have not read it before, I suggest you read
it now -- and maybe get the other books in Barer's true crime series. While
each is distinct, the quality of MURDER IN THE FAMILY is not
compromised in his other efforts.
Anyone who reads true crime should have MURDER IN THE FAMILY in
their library.
