About this listen
The nation wept when news broke of nearly three-year-old Caylee Anthony's disappearance from her home in Florida in July 2007. The search for Caylee made front-page headlines. But Casey Anthony continued to lie to law enforcement about her daughter's whereabouts, complicating their search for the truth.
Soon, Casey was the most hated person in America. This updated version of the book covers the murder trial of Caylee's mother and its unexpected outcome. The tragedy of Caylee Anthony will haunt you for years to come.

It was the trial that stunned America, the verdict that shocked us all. On July 5, 2011, nearly three years after her initial arrest, Casey Anthony walked away, virtually scot-free, from one of the most sensational murder trials of all time. She'd been accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, but the trial only left behind more questions: Was she actually innocent? What really happened to Caylee? Was this what justice really looked like?

When the pretty, blonde Utah mother went missing in December of 2009 the media was swept up in the story - with lenses and microphones trained on Susan's husband, Josh. He said he had no idea what happened to his young wife, and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm.

On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

She'd been accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, but the trial only left behind more questions: Was she actually innocent? What really happened to Caylee? Was this what justice really looked like?

It’s a chilling reality that homicide investigators know all too well: The last face most murder victims see is not that of a stranger, but of someone familiar. Whether only an acquaintance or a trusted intimate, such killers share a common trait that triggers the downward spiral toward death for someone close to them: They are masters at hiding who they really are. Their clever masks let them appear safe, kind, and truthful. They are anything but - and almost no one can detect the murderous impulses buried deep in their psyches.

AWFUL NARRATOR
Would you try another book from Diane Fanning and/or Sally Blake?
Diane? Sure. Sally? No way.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I'm actually not done yet but I feel so passionate about the narration that I wanted to comment on it.
How could the performance have been better?
I cannot believe they didn't scrap this and start over with someone new. Most of the time the narrator sounds like a robot with a first grade education. When she is reading the dialogue of Cindy Anthony she sounds whiny and panicked no matter the context.
Did Mommy's Little Girl inspire you to do anything?
Actually, yes! Not to take away from the serious subject matter, but I have been considering becoming a narrator myself and this performance gave me a lot of confidence.

This was more of a Fiction than nonfiction
It was a great narrative of what possibly happened. Although Casey was found Not Guilty because of defense team saying her father George was a pedophile. That was sickening but it made reasonable doubt.

No justice for Caylee
This story was told spot on. Living in central Florida I can say that this is a most accurate telling of the true story of the death of Caylee Anthony. May she rest in peace.

Well known story
Mixed feelings on this book, perhaps because of actual outcome. The book itself was written apparently before the trial, with an addition after the trial, justice not completed.

Well written but...
Quite possibly the worst narration I've ever heard. Shame, because the author did a great job.

Good Narrator and Compelling Narrative
I am not sure what is with all the negative reviews about the narrator. Narration was high quality. Good information, family background, and flow of narrative. Some areas could have used more depth and details. Overall, good true crime.

Horrible
The person who reads this book reads at a third grade level. I can barely listen to it. I’m going to use the return/exchange policy. The story is well written and the subject is interesting but the narrator is horrible.
