Summary
In 1989, Eileen Franklin, a young California housewife, claimed to recover a repressed memory of her father killing her playmate 20 years earlier. In a landmark trial, the father was charged and convicted of first-degree murder, based solely on his daughter's testimony. This book chronicles the trial, explores the remarkably dysfunctional Franklin family and delves into the credibility of repressed memories as evidence.
This version contains a 2011 Epilogue, which details the reasons for the reversal of George Franklin's murder conviction and the refusal of the district attorney to retry him for murder.

Could have been cut down by 50%
The narration was absolute horrible! It would have worked with an adventure story or a fairy tale, but with true crime...?
The story itself was over-detailed. I skipped the chapters with the defence and the prosecutions finishing speeches. No need for that, I was not a member of the jury. Also hearing about a courtcase from across the floor...not relevant at all.
I kept on listening, only because I don´t want to return every other audiobook.
