"This is a heartbreaking true story of a woman who was murdered and raped. The investigation was bungled from the beginning and it seemed that the people of power and prestige in the community just want this inconvenient "mess" to go away, which is exactly what happened. I was flabbergasted at the lack of empathy and humanity not shown to this woman who was brutally murdered in her own home. It was only by a change encounter that Leslie acquired all the "lost" reports and evidence that she is able to tell this true story. A murderer has walked free, this case never even made it to court, why? What if this were your relative? I don't think you would have settled for this outcome. Leslie provides you with true evidence as well as information from recent interviews with people who lived at the time. It's up to you to decide who you think murdered this poor woman who was desperately trying to better herself. May His have mercy on Henrietta's soul. "

" Finished reading Killing Henrietta yesterday. Couldn`t put it down! Wow! What a story. I loved the whole journey; how your beauty career played a major role, how you gave us the history of Southern MD, how the people you met along the way, your persistence, courage and tenacity questioning and gathering your information, how you uncovered the "coverups", how you showed us that ultimately her Faith in her demise, how you were and still are a voice for Henrietta! Fantastic job! It actually is a BIG deal! Very proud of you Leslie. I just may read it again!
