Description

The New York Times Bestseller by Shanna Hogan, Picture Perfect is the true crime chronicle of Jodi Arias.

A DEVOTED BACHELOR

Travis Alexander was a handsome, hard-working, practicing Mormon who lived in Mesa, Arizona. His good looks and easygoing manner made him popular with everyone, especially the ladies. So when he was found with a bullet wound in the face and his throat slashed, the brutal murder sent shock waves throughout his community. Who could have done something so sinister?

A DEADLY OBSESSION

But soon a suspect was singled out—Jodi Arias. A beautiful, aspiring photographer, Jodi had been in a long-distance relationship with Travis the year before. But Travis wasn't interested in a serious commitment; he was seeing several women during that time. When he broke up with her, that didn't stop Jodi from leaving California, moving to just a few miles away from Travis's home, and inserting herself into his daily life. Investigators found one piece of startling evidence in Travis's home that implicated Jodi. But in a bizarre turn of events, Jodi would claim self-defense. Was she a victim—or a devious femme fatale?

    I’ve loosely followed the murder of Travis Alexander for a couple years now. I decided to purchase this book because I wanted more details that the YouTube videos don’t go into. I’m very pleased with this book. It was hard to put my phone down while reading this. The only annoying thing is that Jodi Arias never admits to why or how the murder occurred- but that is at no fault of the author. The book does present a couple theories. Great writing by the author; easy to follow. God bless Travis Alexander and his family. Rest In Peace.
  • Good Book!

    I loved the insight. You can find things in the book regarding the case that you can’t really find online.

    This book did not have any new information that I haven't already seen or heard due to the exhaustive news coverage of this story. It seems the author rushed this book to publication, being that the case isn't even over yet! I think it would have been of benefit to the author if she had taken some extra time to check her spelling and grammar, as I found more than a few mistakes. ("corroded" artery....really?!!)
