Picture Perfect is a very well written book that tells the story of how Jodi Arias murdered her Mormon lover, Travis Alexander in a very gruesome way. The author, Shannon Hogan, writes in great detail how the relationship spiraled out of control. She interviews Travis' closest friends and writes details from the very beginning of their relationship. She even gives us background on Jodi's and Travis' childhoods. Travis Alexander was an up and coming executive for the Prepaid Legal Group, which is how he came to meet Jodi Arias. This book describes in great detail how their relationship started innocent enough, but then turned sexual and at many times, perverted. Jodi was extremely obsessed with Travis and could not let go of him even when she discovered he had been seeing other women. The author describes in great detail the day of the murder and the day Travis' friends discovered his body. I had not known that the body had been in the house five days before it was discovered, but what was even more shocking was that he had two roommates that were living with the dead body and did not realize it. This book covers so much more than the trial and reveals shocking details of Jodi and Travis' twisted and toxic relationship. This was the best true crime book I have read in a long time. Also, included in the book are many graphic and disturbing photos.
