Darlie Books?

Hi, all. I recently wandered over here from the JBR board after reading a book about Darlie Routier and the murders of the boys. I'm glad to see there is so much information and people are still actively talking about this case.

The book I read was Precious Angels, by Barbara Davis. I could hardly put it down, and now I'm wondering if anyone could please direct me toward other books about the Routier case.

Based on this one book I've read and the information here, I'm left with the impression that Darlie was responsible for the deaths of Devon and Damon. Her story doesn't make sense, and don't get me started about the Silly String video. I saw that on tv years ago but didn't realize just how callous and guilty it made Darlie look until I started reading the details. And what mother throws a birthday party for the neighborhood children after the child whose birthday it was (her own child!) was murdered just days before?

Media Tried, Justice Denied by Christopher W. Brown is the only one that's even necessary to read. I say this because its got the photographs that one would need to see just how ridiculous it is to believe Darlie's claims that she put up any sort of fight whatever. There are also many news articles (of course, you'll need to deal with Brown's silly comments on them), but they're at least in one place. There is no fact in the other books as far as I remember. Some of the stories are true and others are not. The court transcripts are the best place to look for information that has been discussed from both sides.

I agree, those pictures say it all....and yes, CWB's comments are so off the wall...supposedly he's writing another book due out in 2007.

Thanks a lot! I'm heading out to the secondhand book store tomorrow, hopefully I can find it. If not I'll check the library...but I'd prefer to own my own copy since I'm really fond of writing in my books (circling things, underlining, notes in the margins.)

Good luck. From what I've heard, you can get them on E-Bay or directly from Chris Brown, but bookstores don't carry it.
