Description

Picture Perfect is the chilling true crime story of Jodi Arias, a beautiful aspiring photographer, and the murder of Travis Alexander, a devout Mormon.

Travis Alexander was a handsome, hard-working, practicing Mormon who lived in Mesa, Arizona. His good looks and easygoing manner made him popular with everyone, especially the ladies. But when he was found brutally murdered with a bullet wound in the face and his throat slashed, the shocking crime sent waves throughout his community. Who could have committed such a sinister act?

Suspicion soon fell on Jodi Arias, Travis's ex-girlfriend. Though they had broken up, Jodi moved from California to just miles from Travis's home and began inserting herself into his daily life. Investigators found startling evidence in Travis's home that implicated Jodi. But in a bizarre turn of events, Jodi claimed self-defense. Was she a victim, or a dangerous, obsessed stalker?

Picture Perfect: The Jodi Arias Story, the New York Times bestseller by Shanna Hogan, chronicles the deadly affair and the murder trial that captured the nation's attention. With 8 pages of chilling photos.

    I’ve loosely followed the murder of Travis Alexander for a couple years now. I decided to purchase this book because I wanted more details that the YouTube videos don’t go into. I’m very pleased with this book. It was hard to put my phone down while reading this. The only annoying thing is that Jodi Arias never admits to why or how the murder occurred- but that is at no fault of the author. The book does present a couple theories. Great writing by the author; easy to follow. God bless Travis Alexander and his family. Rest In Peace.
  • Good Book!

    I loved the insight. You can find things in the book regarding the case that you can’t really find online.

    This book did not have any new information that I haven't already seen or heard due to the exhaustive news coverage of this story. It seems the author rushed this book to publication, being that the case isn't even over yet! I think it would have been of benefit to the author if she had taken some extra time to check her spelling and grammar, as I found more than a few mistakes. ("corroded" artery....really?!!)
