Narration During Books In the Middle of the Night: The Shocking True Story of a Family Killed in Cold Blood

The affluent suburb of Cheshire, Connecticut, seemed like the perfect place for Dr. William Petit and his wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, to raise their two lovely daughters... Until July 23, 2007, when, according to police, two ex-cons invaded the Petit home hoping to embark on a routine robbery-one that would ultimately prove deadly.
What unfolded at 300 Sorghum Mill Drive was a tragic and horrifying sequence of events that shocked a community and made headlines across the nation. Before the morning was over, Mrs. Hawke-Petit and one of her daughters would be sexually assaulted, the entire house would go up in flames, and only Dr. Petit-his head bloodied, his legs bound-would manage to escape with his life. With the help of neighbors and local police, the two suspects were soon found and captured. Now, Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes await trial for murder IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

Criticize Epithetical Books In the Middle of the Night: The Shocking True Story of a Family Killed in Cold Blood

It's more like the biography of the pathetic scumbag who could have a great life if only he had not gone down the wrong path blah blah blah. I feel like the author wants me to have sympathy for this wayward soul. The only sympathy I have is for Mr. Petit who will bear the scars both physically & mentally the rest of his life. And for Jayda. A little girl brought into the world not knowing what an animal her father truly is.

Well, I think this book was very interesting. But I wish that the book would talk about more about the murders and the family instead the suspects life. I was interested in learning about the suspects lifes but I just wished that there would of been more information about the family and the actual murder.

Blah- the life story of a genius but pathetic pathological liar and a manipulated simple-minded drug addict that take part in an unspeakable crime.

So, let me re-phrase in "appropriate" terms. Do not read this book. Can not find one respectful text/letter/word (for an author) in this book.God bless the Petit family & May the sicko's in this world burn in Hell.Was that nicer??

This book basically a biography of Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes. The author desperately wants to blame something from their past as to why they would do such terrible crimes. These men are evil. Who cares how it originated? I disliked this book so much because it just seemed to highlight the Devil and the Petit family was yet another conquest of these assholes.

The book was not what I expected - I wanted to hear about the crime. It didnt seem like alot of the details of the crime was known,because it was not written about. The author wrote mostly about the younger criminals past history. Even the trial didnt take place yet, so you are left not knowing the outcome either.

This book is a must read!!! It was horrific what happened to this family. They were an upper middle class family targeted during a simple trip to the grocery store. The two murderers are pure evil absolutely pure evil. What this family went through was unimaginable to me. This book left me dazed after reading it. What happened to this family CAN happen to any family. This book is a must read but it is very detailed and this family suffered torture.
