First off it’s not a hard back like it stated when I bought it. Second, there’s no photos in it like it says on the very front of the book. Third, I paid more going through TikTok than I would’ve paid if I had just went to the store and bought it myself! Super pissed off.

My book was missing the ā€œeight pages of dramatic picturesā€. It would’ve been nice to see the pictures of the Watts growing up and the girls as the TikTok influencer described. Also, the back of the book mentions the pictures. Quick read.

I had been looking forward to this book coming in. On the back and in description it says 8 pages of dramatic photos. There are 0 pages with any pictures in this book. Do not buy this book from this seller, it is false advertisement.

I've always been fascinated with Forensics and how the human mind can lead you to take the lives of your own children. I've watched the story on Netflix and the book gives you huge insight to the dynamics of their marriage. There were so many other ways this should have went, why this way?

Product description
In The Perfect Father, New York Times author John Glatt reveals the tragedy of the Watts family, whose seemingly perfect lives played out on social media--but the truth would lead to a vicious and heartbreaking m*rd*r.
In the early morning hours of August 13th, 2018, Shanann Watts was dropped off at home by a colleague after returning from a business trip. It was the last time anyone would see her alive. By the next day, Shanann and her two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, had been reported missing, and her husband, Chris Watts, was appearing on the local news, pleading for his family's safe return.
But Chris Watts already knew that he would never see his family again. Less than 24 hours after his desperate plea, Watts made a shocking confession to police: he had strangled his pregnant wife to death and smothered their daughters, dumping their bodies at a nearby oil site. Heartbroken friends and neighbors watched in shock as the movie-star handsome, devoted family man they knew was arrested and charged with first degree m*rd*r. The mask Chris had presented to the world in his TV interviews and the family's accounts was slipping--and what lay beneath was a horrifying image of instability, infidelity, and boiling rage.
In this first major account of the case, author and journalist John Glatt reveals the truth behind the tragedy and constructs a chilling portrait of one of the shocking family annihilator cases of the 21st century.
