SOLVED. Dad and I looking for true crime about 2 kids who killed a third.

[Bren fall in love with the sea.]

Hello. This shouldn't be that hard to find except for the fact that it's a very old book that we both read decades ago. It's true crime and rather horrifying about two kids..boys..who murder someone..a third boy "to see what it was like". My dad says it was a very well known book. Problem is neither of us remember what decade it came out in. I think at the latest the eighties but could have been before that. Does anyone know what book we are thinking of?

We solved this one on our own.."For the Thrill of it" by Simon Baatz.
