Is The Good Son based on a true story

A fascinating story but it’s missing some very important details. We are left with a motive of greed and insurance money but almost nothing of the murderer’s background. There are hints that the parents may have been arguably poor guardians and perhaps used their money to control their children’s lives. But these hints are not followed up in detail which leaves the reader hanging on why the son resorted to murder.

A true crime about a son that was involved in killing his parents. A sad reason-wanting the money from insurance and house. That is not really a spoiler, because it's talked about through the book. Well written with a neutral narrative this story does tell at the end the lack of reasoning behind this kind of mentality. A true crime about a son that was involved in killing his parents.

This book is about Andrew Wamsley, a spoiled rich kid from Texas that had his parents killed to inherit their 1 million dollar insurance policy. This book, like the last I read, had a lot of court room detail, but this one wasn't as boring.
