## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great true crime I've read in a while
*by A***R on January 6, 2025*

Great read! Well researched and written. Literary art. The writer style is so much enjoyable. Excellent trial coverage! Well done to the prosecution team.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative and a great telling of a horrifying event.
*by T***I on May 1, 2021*

The book seemed respectable given the topic it was on. The book bounced from different perspectives. There was never a point I had to force myself to keep reading. It was a attention grabber from the beginning. I originally heard about the book from the Morbid podcast and I think it was a good rec.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gritty and Real True Crime
*by M***L on November 25, 2001*

"Perfect Victim" tells the bizarre story of a young woman kidnapped while hitchhiking from Oregon to her home in California in 1977. Colleen Stan is sadistically kept prisoner for most of 7 years. She is forced to spend many nights in a small box; a "dungeon" would be too generous a description. She is raped, tortured and just plain denigrated by her captors, Cameron and Jan Hooker. In the process she becomes their virtual slave. Apparently "brainwashed", she ignores opportunities to escape. This is the most difficult part of the plot for the reader to fathom. Why didn't Colleen run? Was she truly brainwashed? This reviewer believes she was, but others will certainly disagree. Suddenly! Colleen is a free woman and the wheels of justice begin to spin. The second half of "PV" is concerned with the arrest and trial of the Hookers. In a special -and positive- twist, a co-author, Christine McGuire, is the prosecutor! As an author, she may favor her position. She takes an obvious shot or two at the defense counsel, but who can blame her, given the low life of a defendant? I firmly believe reviewers should not divulge endings (or how Colleen became "free"), so I will end quickly. "PV" is definitely recommended to true crime devotees. The only drawbacks are the disturbing nature of the plot and the amount of space devoted to the trial. It could have been edited down, but this is a minor detail. Who can blame author McGuire for writing about prosecutor McGuire? It's unclear if "PV" is readily available. My advice is to persist in finding a copy.
