In 1997, Rachel Timmerman was the victim of a cold-blooded killer, her body found weighted down in a lake weeks after her disappearance. Her infant daughter, who was last seen with her mother, was never found. This book is authored by the victim's father and uncle, who share their painful emotions and memories. They also provide the inside story of Timmerman's personal life, including her brutal rape the year before her murder. She pressed charges against a defendant who allegedly claimed he would see her dead before serving jail time. Timmerman's accused rapist ultimately was charged with the murder, tried, convicted, and sentenced to the death penalty. Yet, as of this writing, a federal appeals court is examining the conviction. VERDICT This is a harrowing story of a young woman who tried to sort out her life and do the right thing. True crime and law aficionados will take great interest in her case.--Krista Bush, West Haven, CT
