Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Scream at the Sky is an extraordinarily well researched and put together book. This is an excellent account of the crimes, the victims, the investigation, and the families, with insight into each of the personalities involved. Wardrip, in addition to being a cold blooded killer is also a compulsive liar and, once in prison, had an ability to mold himself into what he thought others wanted to see. After serving a relatively short period of time, Wardrip supposedly turned to religion and was leading a model life as a valued employee, a respected Sunday School teacher, and a happily married man. The false stories he told others about why he was in prison and his wretched childhood made them sympathetic toward him. If not for the doggedness of DA Investigator John Little, Wardrip may be still out on the streets. Amazingly, Tina Kimbrew's parents decided to participate in the victim/offender mediation program and were sucked into the fairy tale he wove, so they left with feelings of sympathy and forgiveness for Wardrip. As the case unfolds, they, along with many others realize that beneath the mousey-faced milquetoast façade is a brutal serial killer. This is a book I'd definitely recommend.
