About this eBook
On August 30, 1993, Roberta Moore drove to work; it was a cold, rainy morning. She had left her two sons and little daughter at home with her husband. He was supposed to make sure they got dressed in time to catch the school bus. She had been on the job for only thirty minutes when she received a call at 7:45 a.m. Roberta was surprised to hear her husband's voice on the line. John Moore told his wife he couldn't find their sons. Robert, 13, and Benjamin (Ben), 10, were missing. At 8:25 a.m. the dispatcher with the Price County Sheriff's Department answered a 911 call. Roberta said her husband had found their sons dead on a trail near their home. Brothers Silenced unmasks the dysfunctional personal lives of this seemingly normal family. This shocking real life mystery proves truth is indeed stranger than fiction. Author Kathryn Jewel, spent over a year interviewing Roberta Moore and uncovering the many complex elements surrounding this case. The ensuing finger pointing, inconsistencies, and religious obsession are explored in detail. Because of small town politics and petty jealousy within the sheriff's department, critical mistakes were made. Fans of the true crime genre will be both challenged and baffled as they are led through this psychological maze. Brothers Silenced analyzes the twists and turns of how and why two innocent children were shot to death and left in the woods so close to their home.

Although I appreciate what Kat tried to do, the personal innuendo towards various persons in the book made me uneasy. It created the atmosphere of a saucy gossiping newspaper. The timeline of the book is also sloppy with many incidents repeatedly described.

In all honesty I found the book quite good! There was an uncanny familiarity which I guess was the writing style. It is an easy read. There is no chance of drowning in scientific or forensic lingo. There were some parts that seemed unnecessary or dragged out but these parts are few & far between. Happy reading!

It was ok...very sad and doesn't end well. Also the Jehovahs witnesses were misinterpreted (coming from a non jehovahs witness but family members associated) All in all ok.
