A Teenage Love Pact Sealed In Blood
Outside a small Texas town by the side of the road, high school sophomore beauty Adrianne Jones lay with her skull bashed in and two bullets in her head. She had been driven to an isolated spot outside of Mansfield, Texas by star student David Graham while David's girlfriend, Diane Zamora, hid in the trunk. First David tried unsuccessfully to break Adrianne's neck, then Diane came out of the trunk to attack her with a set of weights. To finish off the job, David shot her between the eyes. For months, there were no leads on the killing until Diane confessed to her military school roommates about the secret she and her boyfriend would take to their graves...
Tainted Love

Even more shocking were the killers, David and Diane, model teenagers, devoted high school sweethearts, military academy-bound honors students-- and desperate lovers who feared that Adrianne's sexual encounter with David had come between them. Killing Adrianne was "the only thing that could satisfy [Diane's] vengeance," said David in his confession to police-- the only way, she told David, to restore the 'purity' of their love...

Interesting Story but Wrong Facts
I have long followed the story of Adrianne Jones, and I was thrilled to see this book in the iBooks store. However, although the story is interesting, I have found many errors (and I'm only on page 81). For instance, the "large jewelry retailer" mentioned as the place of employment for Mr. Foster is Zales not Zells as the book claims. Also, the author states the "Waco siege" (or words to that effect) occurred in 1991. Having been born and raised in Waco, (although I now live in the D/FW Metroplex area) I know this "fact" is totally mis-stated. The so-called "Waco siege" happened in 1993. The Branch Davidian compound was attacked and more than eighty people lost their lives on April 19, 1993. I remember that incident personally. So although I find these errors in so-called facts to be distracting from the story of the murder of Adrianne Jones. Nevertheless, I do recommend this book despite the errors in "facts".
This tragic story serves as a good reminder that things and people are not always as they appear. Even ones who seem to be well-grounded and respected could turn out to be a cold-hearted killer. The story also serves as a reminder for parents to keep the lines of communication opened with our children. Teenagers face so many challenges today and as parents, we are probably kept in the dark about the majority of the issues they face!
