Intense Investigators & Intelligent Jury Sends A Murderer to Prison for LIfe,
By
This review is from: Killer Dad (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one more story about a man who decides he wants freedom, whether it be for another woman or he's just tired of being married, and decides to kill his wife. What seperates Michael Blagg, who murdered his wife, Jennifer, is that he also decided to kill his daughter, Abby. And if that doesn't seperate him enough from the others, then maybe his religious faith is. As Blagg is interrogated, he clings to his faith stating that "God is giving him peace to get through this" and "It is in God's hands now," all the while avoiding any talk about his internet pornography addiction could have contributed to his problems! While I'm all for one's faith and religion, what Blagg said, while combined with his actions, almost seemed blasphemous!
What was most impressive to me, however, was that despite all of the evidence presented (including was mainly circumstantial against Blagg), the jury was able to see the "small details" that had not really been considered by police and district attorney. Kudos to this above average jury for their insight! I did not consider this to be one of Robert Scott's best writings; however, it is still well worth the read.

Boring and Repetitive,
By Lovin' Books (In The South) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killer Dad (Mass Market Paperback)
This book, except for 7 or 8 pages gave NO background info on Jennifer and Mike. It glazed over their whole relationship, glazed over Jennifer's journal. The book started with the 911 call Mike made, and except for these 7 or 8 pages never looked back. The author was also quite repetitive, IMO.
I have read one other book by this author, Monster Slayer, and didn't care for it either so this is the last time I'll be buying a book by him.

The Title Just Gave the Story Away!,
This review is from: Killer Dad (Mass Market Paperback)
Michael Blagg probably thought he committed the perfect crime of killing his own wife, Jennifer, and their only child, a beautiful six-year old daughter, Abby. Then he disposed their bodies, the title pretty much tells you who is responsible for the hideous murders of the wife and mother, Jennifer Loman Blagg, and their only child Abby Blagg. The book is often repetitive despite it trying to explain the circumstances. Mike Blagg lies so often it's hard to take any of what he says to be credible. He is much like Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson, and others who say their wives have gone missing. In this case, there is a 6 year old beautiful little girl who could have been spared but she witnessed her father's diabolical rage and had to die with her mother. Jennifer's remains would be found at the bottom of a landfill where Mike had disposed their remains through his company's dumpsters. The police and investigators in Grand Junction, Colorado would uncover an unhappy, abusive marriage despite Mike's reputed religious ties to the church and Jennifer who planned to bring Abby back home to South Carolina where she was much more happier. Mike's secret dark life of internet porn and x-rated sex acts would also come into play. The book is redundant of similar cases where spouses are murdered. My heart cries for both Jennifer and Abby Blagg who should have been allowed to leave and live as they pleased.
