Review of Girl On Death Row
Dr. Jacob Orion has been a criminal psychologist for the past eighteen years, and he performs psychological evaluations on inmates for the state. The high-profile execution inmates unnerved him the most, and Allison's case at the Louisiana Women’s Prison was one of those. He was the voice of these killers, and he had to decode their minds. She killed a five-year-old girl six years ago, and the mother of the little girl disappeared at the same time. As this doesn't seem like a coincidence, Jacob's job was to find out where the mother is before Allison's execution in five days’ time.
She proved to be smarter than he thought she would be, but she was definitely as cold-hearted as he had heard. After his meeting with her, he was intrigued and felt that there was more to her. On his way out, he was confronted by a lady who was claiming the innocence of Allison, yet Allison confessed to the murder. What would unravel in the few days before her execution? Does she know where the mother is or really have no idea, as she claims? Is she really guilty or not? If not, then why would she confess to murdering a five-year-old girl? There are so many questions, and the only way to get answers is to read this book ASAP!
I was intrigued by this book right from the start. What goes on in the mind of someone who can murder a small child? Seeing this book from the perspective of a criminal psychologist and how he goes to work cracking the criminal mind is definitely something worth reading. I enjoyed how he could subtract himself from the situation and his personal feelings to be able to look at the whole picture in front of him. Jacob was also open to listening to others' points of view instead of just focusing on his own research. I believe that in a field like this, being open-minded is one of the biggest positives you can have on your side.
I learned so much from this book, especially how the picture in front of you might not be what it is showing you at all and that you should always trust your gut. There was absolutely nothing that I disliked about this book, and I found no errors at all. This book was an absolute joy to read, although it does have a very dark reason for being. I couldn’t wait to get to the end of this book to learn how all of the puzzle pieces fit together, but I was also disappointed when the book ended, as it meant my journey with this book was over, and I wasn’t ready for that just yet.
I rate Girl On Death Row by Edward Costa a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. There was no reason to give it a lower rating. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy crime thrillers, detective stories, and psychological mysteries.
