Daddy's Little Secret: A Daughter's Quest to Solve Her Father's Brutal Murder. You don't usually expect such good writing from a first effort, especially when the book is a true crime story about the writer's own father's murder. But this one from Denise Wallace is very good. We are right there with her and the detectives as she goes through finding out about her father's death, then being blind-sided by one shocking revelation after another as information about his secret life comes to light. Things that happened when she spent time with him growing up during his visitations take on entirely new meanings looking back with the new insight she gains during the investigation of his awful murder and things that come out during the trial of the young man eventually arrested in his killing. She realizes that she only knew one side of him, and not nearly as well as she had thought. But then again, she reminds herself...there were signs.
I love true crime stories. The horror is real. The book I thought was nicely written and went at a good pace. It was a pretty good first for Denise Wallace and I can't imagine how difficult it was for her to relive the memories.
I imagine at one time or another we have always been surprised when we find a person we knew was not really what we thought at all. As written in this book, the daughter of the victim had no idea what kind of man her father was. I think she was shattered by her illusions.This book was very well written. She was able to bring all these characters to "life" with just her written word. Even the trial was not boring!Kudos Ms. Wallace. My sincere sympathy for your loss. I'm glad you were able to write this book and I hope it has been somewhat of a catharsis for you....
This book was a page Turner for me. Denise wrote with such emotions that I FELT each one. I can't imagine being in her shoes for one minute. To have every memory turned upside down when she learned about her father's death and secret lifestyle. I hope she has found someone who can share the ups and downs of life with more compassion than her husband had.
What a fantastic book! Author Denise Wallace did an excellent job telling the story of her father's murder while having to relive painful memories from her childhood and then discover that he led an alternative life style. This book grabbed my attention from the first page and it was hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.
A very well written true crime book from author Denise Wallace. If you read true crime I am recommending this book.,it's a page turner. This is a story of a daughters quest to solve her fathers horrific murder. From her keeping secrets about him, to assisting detectives in solving his brutal murder.
I read a lot of true crime books, and this one really stands out, because it's from a totally different point of view, it's not the point of view of detectives or journalists, or even the victim or suspect. This book is from the point of view of the daughter. It's very good, with lots of details, and the Author doesn't seem to take sides which I think would be difficult in this situation, but that is the great thing about this book. It was fascinating and very well written.
This was an amazing story unlike any true crime book I've ever read. Denise Wallace's descriptive account of her father's secret life and violent death is riveting. From the detectives working to solve his murder to the arrest of his killer and the subsequent trial - this kept me up late many nights. Denise is a gifted writer and brings the reader along the journey of her life. Another wonderful book from Wild Blue Press!
