Slashed on the neck, Darlie Routier swore that an intruder invaded her home in an upscale community outside of Dallas on June 6, 1996, killed her two young sons, attacked her, then fled through the garage while her husband and infant son slept upstairs. But overwhelming evidence soon convinced police that it was Darlie who had committed the heinous crime. It would take a Texas jury just 10 hours to convict the suburban housewife of killing her sons, and only four more hours to deliver a death penalty sentence. Photo insert.

Good Overview of the Case,
By
This review is from: Flesh And Blood (True Crime) (Paperback)
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.

Flesh and Blood,
By Jacki (Dallas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flesh And Blood (True Crime) (Paperback)
I am just an average citizen who is interested in the facts about a woman who could have killed her children in cold blood. I have read much material on the case, but Flesh and Blood was the best. It is NOT biased. It states the facts ONLY. The reason some consider it biased is because all the FACTS point to Darlie as the killer. There was no bashing of the family in this book and there was also no bashing of the investigation process. There was no sarcasm and definitely no name calling. It is a great book and I strongly recommend it to the average person who just wants to know what happened the night these two innocent children were murdered. Also, I counted a total of three typos...that's it.

night and day,
By momcat (dallas, texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flesh And Blood (True Crime) (Paperback)
The difference between this novel and others like Precious Angels and Media Tried is amazing! Ms Springer is an excellent author who derserves better than the personal attacks I have seen in other reviews posted here. It is painfully obvious that some of the Routier/Kee cult with personal axes to grind are attacking a woman who is honest and forthright. It is also obvious that Barbara Davis has had a hand in some of these so called reviews. I would reccommend reading Flesh and Blood to find out the difference between good research with personal integrity and the florid and poorly researched style of Chris Brown and Barbara Davis
