Story
Battle Creek, Michigan, is famous as the birthplace of breakfast cereal, and the nearby suburb of Marshall is as wholesome as shredded wheat. On a frigid night in February of 1991, newscaster Diane Newton King was stepping out of her car, her children strapped into the backseat, when a sniper's bullet cut her down. The police assumed that the killer was her stalker - a crazed fan who had been terrorizing King for weeks. But as their investigation ground to a standstill, the police turned to another suspect - one much closer to home.

On a November morning in 2015, Christopher Jackson waited for his fiancée, Angila Wilder, to pick him up from work as she always did. But this time, she didn’t show - and Christopher’s calls went unanswered. The police found what looked like a scene from a horror movie at their home. The backdoor kicked in. A bedroom splattered with blood. And a pregnant young woman violently stabbed to death.

so boring. Sooo boring!

Publisher's Summary
Under the Trestle is the true story of the most compelling murder case in Virginia history. In 1980, beautiful Gina Renee Hall, a Radford University freshman, went to a Virginia Tech nightclub on a Saturday night. She was never seen again. Her abandoned car was found parked beneath a railroad trestle bridging the New River, with blood in the trunk. The investigation led police to a secluded cabin on Claytor Lake, where there was evidence of a violent attack. Former Virginia Tech football player Stephen Epperly was charged with murder, despite the fact that Gina's body was never found.
In Virginia's "trial of the century", prosecutor Everett Shockley presented an entirely circumstantial case. Key witnesses against Epperly included his best friend, his mother, and a tracking dog handler later believed by many to be a fraud. Three former Virginia Tech football players testified, including a Hokies quarterback once featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Would Epperly become the first person in Virginia history convicted of murder without the victim's body, an eyewitness, or a confession? And would authorities ever find the body of Gina Renee Hall?

Outstanding account of historic case
I truly enjoyed this book. I found it detailed but easily readable. The author kept the story moving in a way that reminded me of books by Erik Larson. He followed through on all topics raised, leaving no strand of the story untended. I am looking forward to reading Peterson’s next book! And the story was made even more enjoyable by the reader, whose voice and cadence showed off the meaty substance of the author’s prose.

Great book. Narrator not so good.
This book was very good however I didn’t so much like the narrator. He hung on the last word of every sentence and said it like he was reading a romance novel. So if you don’t mind listening to someone who finishes his sentences like he just ate an awesome piece of chocolate then by all means enjoy.

Meh
The story itself is pretty interesting but the writing is lacking. The descriptions are very basic and do nothing to draw you in and set the scene. The narrator has a pretty neutral voice which is fine, but he doesn’t have a lot to work with. The narration would be better if the writing itself were better. I would not recommend this one.

A Fascinating Dissection of a Murder Conviction with No Body
This book is a fascinating painstakingly detailed account of Virginia’s first murder conviction with no body. The thorough pre-DNA police work, prosecution and defense, and appeals are explained in detail. With this book you feel you really know the accused, the victim, and the families of both. It’s a heartbreaking story that grips the entire community for decades as the search for the body continues. The reading of the book is outstanding. I highly recommend this true crime book.
