Editorial reviews

In Who Killed My Daughter?, acclaimed young adult author Lois Duncan recounts the harrowing story of her own daughter’s tragically unsolved murder, and her personal quest to find and bring a killer to justice.

Teri Clark Linden performs this raw and affecting memoir, her calm, even voice bringing some balance to the emotional turmoil evident throughout this intense audiobook. Who Killed My Daughter? is a poignant and elegiac recollection of personal grief and grit in the face of immeasurable horror, and Duncan’s journey through shock to rage and eventually uneasy acceptance is gripping, and not to be missed.

Complex, very detailed

Throughout the book, I felt the narrator was a distraction, at times even an irritant.

True Story

I enjoy reading nonfiction. However, this story (even though there is a sequel) suffers from the number one issue with true stories, it is unresolved. So it is fascinating to read about the family, the case, and all the possible solutions. But you have to be okay without those answers.

Mechanical voice for a great story

It was quite annoying that the voice sounded like a computer. It’s unfortunate as this is a great story

3 Stars for Pity's Sake

This is one of the few books that I haven't bothered to finish. I do feel awful for the family that it is still unresolved but I just can't deal with all of the psychic visits. If I were in the authors shoes, I would probably do the same thing. (Looking for answers from the 'astral plane') but this book is basically just the psychic's 'automatic writing' transcripts that are written so poorly that it's still annoying at 2.5 speed. If you're looking for something written by someone who's had a family member murdered, I would recommend you check out something like 'The Red Parts" by Maggie Nelson.

The Impact of Murder

If you've wondered how an actual murder impacts the lives of those left behind, this book will answer your questions. This is not a forensic study of how a crime is investigated. On the contrary based on this book one might well wonder if the Albuquerque Police are competent at all or even if they're completely corrupt. This book explores the family of a murder victim, how they deal with law enforcement and how frustrating and anxiety provoking waiting for the wheels of justice to turn can be. A lot of other reviewers eschewed the element of this book that deals with psychic readings. I have no faith in anything much less people who claim psychic ability, but I personally found this aspect of the story both interesting and thought provoking. When something as unthinkable as the murder of your youngest daughter occurs and especially when authorities are offering you only one explanation that does not fit into your experience or world view, one will explore any other avenue of hope. I thought this was a great book.
