This riveting tale of true crime and the perseverance of justice grips and enthralls the reader from start to finish. In 2000, in Providence, Rhode Island, two college students — Amy Shute and Jason Burgeson — were approached by a group of men. Forced into the backseat and driven to a remote location, they were murdered when one of the perpetrators realized the students had seen his face. Long after the initial crime, Detective Raymond Pingitore Jr. and the families of both victims embarked on a remarkable crusade to bring the killers to justice.

Very Well Done!,
By Jana Arlington "Jana" (Cooperstown, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thrill Killers: A True Story of Innocence and Murder Without Conscience (Hardcover)
One of the best true crime books I've read in years. Thrill Killers tells the story of a small town police department and a tragic high profile double murder. The lead detective puts the reader in his head and into the criminal investigation and trials of five murderers. The senseless act is made all the more real as the book delves beyond the dramatic headlines and introduces the reader to the two victims and their families. As you read the book, the connection you feel toward them will provoke strong emotions. Even if you wanted to put this one down, you won't be able to.

Great book,
This review is from: Thrill Killers: A True Story of Innocence and Murder Without Conscience (Hardcover)
Its a paper turner, one of the best books I have ever read. I remember reading about the murders and seeing them on the news. I was able to get inside the mind of the killers. All the questions i had about this horrible incident were answered. I have lent out my copy of thye book to friedsn and family, none of which were disappointed. I highly recommend purchasing a copy

A well documented and sensitive account of brutal murders,
By Debbie Lee (RI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thrill Killers: A True Story of Innocence and Murder Without Conscience (Hardcover)
The authors of this book most certainly did their research on this horrific event. Anyone who lives in RI or Massachusetts will remember this crime as it touched all of us. The author(s) did a wonderful job capturing the emotional impact these senseless murders had not only to their families/friends but to the detective on the scene. I felt a connection to not only Amy & Jason, but to the detective as well and although I knew the ending, I did not visualize the many details found in this book until I read the book. No other publication brought this story to true form the way Thrill Killers did.
I recommend this book to anyone who reads true crime stories to not only understand a piece of the sick puzzle, but, to also feel a connection to the innocent people forever affected by evil senselessness.
