This book is wild! The guy main character is a lay-about that get with a rich girl so he won't have to work again. But then she gets pregnant and the guy is worried that her father will disown her and he will get nothing. So he kills her! THEN HE GOES AFTER HER SISTER AND STARTS COURTING HER. THEN KILLS HER WHEN SHE GETS SUSPICIOUS! THEN GOES AFTER THE THIRD SISTER!!!! People talk about thrillers that keep them on the edge of their seat but this really lives up to it. A classic for a reason.
