The Idaho Murders: Uncovering the Tragedy that Shocked the World

Based on extensive research and first-hand interviews, this true crime novel offers unprecedented insight into the 2022 Idaho murders and the subsequent trial.

On 13th November 2022 in the small quiet town of Moscow, Idaho, the unthinkable happened.

Four innocent college students were murdered in their home.

In the ensuing investigation, the local police and FBI did a lot right. But what did they get wrong?

We’ve learned about the four heartbroken families – the Mogens, Goncalves, Kernodles, and Chapins.
