Publisher's Summary:
It was New Year's Day in 2003 when retired pastor Julian Brandon heard a knock on his door in Blanchard, Louisiana. He opened it to find the villainous duo of Brandy Holmes and Robert Coleman who "bum rushed" the 70-year-old man, forcing their way in.
The couple shot the minister and began ransacking his home. His wife, Alice, tried hiding in the back bedroom but Brandy and Coleman followed her, demanding valuables before shooting her. They then stole whatever they could out of the home; cash, credit cards, and jewelry.
Brandy would only be captured after she bragged to one of her neighbors that she killed an elderly couple. She would be sentenced to death but would blame being born with fetal alcohol syndrome for her behavior. By doing this, she could avoid personal responsibility, as her life was filled with murder and mayhem.
"I was named after my mother's favorite drink," she said. "Brandy." Born out of a childhood of neglect and growing anger, Brandy Holmes would become one of the most vicious killers in Louisiana history.

Members Reviews:
Great mini book about the Holmes case
Great mini book about Brandy Holmes who terrorized and murdered elderly people with her boyfriend Robert Coleman. Brandy Holmes (named after her mother's favorite liquor) was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and has an I.Q. of 70 but despite that was still sentenced to death. She has a criminal record spanning her entire teenage and adult years and seems to only care about her boyfriend and herself

Ho. Hum
Strange writing style. I had to make myself stay focused. Many grammatical errors. I wish I had checked it out instead of buying it. Will not recommend it to friends or family.

A vicious pair of serial killers
Blaming fetal alcohol syndrome as a defense, Brandy Holmes, with an IQ of 77, was a vicious child. Schools didn't want her, juvenile detention facilities didn't want her and, unsupervised by her alcoholic mother, she roamed the streets with her boyfriend committing robberies
She crossed the line to murder when the pair forced their way into the home of an elderly couple in order to rob and kill them. She also shot and killed a friend who was riding in the car with them, just for the adrenaline rush.
The bonus story is about Myra Hindley, interesting but I've already read it.

Skip it.
I found the title offensive, but because of my sick mind, the idea of the story interested me, so I checked it out. I shouldn't have. Grammatical error aside. The way the author quoted the psychiatrist about Brandy "talking black" without acknowledging the backwardness of that statement made me nauseated.

Use of an ableist slur in the title = unnecessary and gross
This really can't be considered a book - it is 28 pages long. And besides, who uses the term "retard" in 2017? Come on! Use of an ableist slur in the title = unnecessary and gross.
