## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely comprehensive and well written...
*by K***C on January 23, 2023*

I ordered this book because I grew up near Middlesex and remembered when the J.B. and Kathy Wiseman were murdered. I wrote a blog post about the murders and noticed it got a lot of hits, which prompted me to want to read more about what happened. Todd Peppers and Laura Anderson did a fantastic job covering this case and took me down memory lane.I wish this title had been available on Kindle, because I found myself wanting to make notes and share excerpts. It's easier to do that when the book is on Kindle than if it's a physical copy. Also, the font was very small, which was hard on my old eyes. However, this book was still well worth the effort of reading, and especially gratifying, since capital punishment has now been abolished in Virginia.I especially enjoyed reading about the Virginia State Penitentiary, since my high school government teacher arranged to take his classes on a field trip there in the spring of 1990. There were still prisoners there during our visit, though we were kept away from them. Peppers writes about the facilities, including the death house, which we did have the chance to visit. At the time, it was still in operation, too. I remember that day as the day when my opinions about the death penalty changed from pro to anti.Anyway, those who are interested in the case of Chris Thomas and Jessica Wiseman, and their highly ill-advised love affair, should definitely read Anatomy of an Execution. It really is a high quality offering!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poignant  and moving ... a MUST READ
*by M***B on January 28, 2017*

This is a powerfully moving biography of the life and death of a young man executed by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Legally a minor when he committed a crime of passion, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to die. I encourage you to read this book. Wether an opponent or supporter of the death penalty, I think this beautifully written piece of literature will enlighten and inform. It offers an in depth look at the flaws and failures of our justice system, particularly for those who are not wealthy or well educated, and in this case immature and naïve. My favorite aspect of this book, however, is how deeply it humanizes Chris and his family and friends. We are allowed an intimate journey with all of them through this ordeal. The cold truth of life inside a prison and on death row, and the last days and hours in the death house are a truly compelling legacy that Chris has left us, with the help of Laura Trevvett Anderson and Todd C Peppers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Difficult to fatham
*by J***M on May 12, 2014*

I purchased the book on recommendation of church women's organization involved in many social justice issues. I firmly believe in the possibility of change and have long been against capital punishment. Reading the story of an actual very young death row person was a tough read in wishing the outcome could have indeed been different.
