A mother and her three young children are found hacked to death in their beds. The apparent weapons, an ax and butcher knife, are found nearby. A month later, the husband and father, who was away on a business trip when the bodies were found, is accused of the killings. Police believe he methodically murdered his wife and children before he left. But why?

A successful businessman and devoted member of a fundamentalist religious group, David Hendricks has the total support of his extended family. Police paint a darker picture, and prosecutors face the daunting task of convicting him on a case based on completely circumstantial evidence.

A New York Times best seller, this book has now been updated with additional content. People often comment they must continually remind themselves that this story is real, that Reasonable Doubt is testament to the fact truth is stranger than fiction. The book has also been used in college-level criminal justice courses to explain and illustrate the legal concept of reasonable doubt.

still unsure. Did he do it or not? I can't believe that I can't figure this one out.

fascinating true story

I’m giving it 4 stars due to 95% of it was dedicated to the courtroom. I usually love that but it went on and on. Also, no perspective or deep dive into motive from the author until the very end. Loved the narration ❤️❤️❤️

Good one!

felt like I was just hearing court transcripts. I'm not sure if it was the monotone voice type or what. It wasn't bad just not awesome

kinda blah

This story was a bit long but I did like the Story and although I can’t say one way or another if he committed this crime how do you feel like the ending left me satisfied not knowing.

A Bit Long But a Overall Good (May Have Spoilers)
