OverviewNow a Netflix Documentary What Jennifer Did A sinister plot by a young woman left her mother dead and her father riddled with bullets. ""The book is pure story: chronological, downhill, fast."" - Globe and Mail From the outside looking in, Jennifer Pan seemed like a model daughter living a perfect life. The ideal child, the one her immigrant parents saw, was studying to become a pharmacist at the University of Toronto. But there was a dark, deceptive side to the angelic young woman. In reality, Jennifer spent her days in the arms of her high school sweetheart, Daniel. In an attempt to lead the life she dreamed of, she would do almost anything: lie about her whereabouts, forge school documents, and invent fake jobs and a fictitious apartment. For many years she led this double life. But when her father discovered her web of lies, his ultimatum was severe. And so, too, was her revenge: a plan that culminated in cold-blooded murder. And it almost worked, except for one bad shot. The story of Jennifer Pan is one of all-consuming love and devious betrayal that led to a cold-hearted plan hatched by a group of youths who thought they could pull off the perfect crime. 2017 Arthur Ellis Award, Best Nonfiction Book - Winner Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jeremy GrimaldiPublisher: Dundurn Group Ltd Imprint: Dundurn Group Ltd Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 2.00cm , Length: 22.80cm Weight: 0.539kg ISBN: 9781459735248ISBN 10: 1459735242 Pages: 336 Publication Date: 19 January 2017 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
