Summary: Absorbing look at shocking crime
Comment: Having seen the author along with Darin Routier on Geraldo, I decided to give this book a try. While, not well-written, it gives a good accounting of the investigation and trial. Obviously the author got her information from reliable sources and it is hard to sympathize with Darlie or Darin Routier after having read this book. Darin comes across as a man more interested in describing his wife's breasts to the police the night of the murders than inquiring about his sons. And, Darlie. . . well, she coaxed Darin into consenting to an abortion by enlarging her breasts! According to Ms. Springer's accounts Darlie is one sick mother. I don't believe in the death penalty based on circumstantial evidence and neither does Ms. Springer. Hopefully, on appeal, Darlie will get life in prison.

Summary: Good Overview of the Case
Comment: I really liked this book. Despite the "poor Darlie" supporters who bashed this book, I picked it up and thought it presented a good overview of the case and some real insight into Darlie's character or lack thereof. She very vividly described the behavior of the Routier/Kee family during the trial. Having seen it on my local news during the trial, Ms. Springer didn't exaggerate a thing. No one in Texas had ever seen a group behave like that at trial. The tacky tatoo which Darin Routier proudly displayed ranked up there with the Silly String video. The family suddenly got religion and beat it to death by constantly singing hymns outside the courtroom. Everyone wanted to be a star. In addition, Ms. Springer obviously had some good sources among neighbors and people who knew the Routiers in Rowlett. I love the Darlie supporters who criticize the editing and minimal typos in this book but highly tout the self-published pro-Darlie Media Tried, Justice Denied which has to include some of the worst English ever published. This book is well worth reading and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Flesh and Blood
Comment: Patricia Springer did an excellent job of giving a first hand look at the participants in the trial and their family members as the trial progressed. So much was going on in this case that the transcripts can't depict. Her eyes at the trial helped define the characters and so far this is my favorite of the books written about this case. Bravo, Ms Springer!
