About this listen

From the outside looking in, Jennifer Pan seemed like a model daughter living a perfect life. The ideal child, the one her immigrant parents saw, was studying to become a pharmacist at the University of Toronto. But there was a dark, deceptive side to the angelic young woman.

In reality, Jennifer spent her days in the arms of her high-school sweetheart, Daniel. In an attempt to lead the life she dreamed of, she would do almost anything: lie about her whereabouts, forge school documents, and invent fake jobs and a fictitious apartment. For many years she led this double life. But when her father discovered her web of lies, his ultimatum was severe. And so, too, was her revenge: a plan that culminated in cold-blooded murder. And it almost worked, except for one bad shot. The story of Jennifer Pan is one of all-consuming love and devious betrayal that led to a cold-hearted plan hatched by a group of youths who thought they could pull off the perfect crime.

Good pace
Narrator could have been better but not appalling (he’s a little robot like)
Story doesn’t have many first hand insight- story crafted from reports and court procedures. However I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Listened to it within 2 days. Easy to listen to.

I liked how the book was a mix of the story being told and included explanation of cultural parenting styles to help develop an understanding of context. The author was factual and fair in his recount of the persons involved, and made me feel sympathy to the murderer, but also that the victims didn’t deserve it. A very easy listen, made easier by the gentle narration.

Good story telling and easy listening

It was an addictive listen and structured so well - it started off going through the plot, murder, investigation and subsequent trial. The book then took a step back and talked about how culture and dynamics of her home. The next part was a dissection of the details towards the murder which gave so much more context to it.
The last paragraph of this book gave me shivers. A fantastic read if you're a true crime fan.

Addictive and spine tingling
