Anne Hawn Smith (hawnsmith) Does anyone know this book?

It was about identical twin boys named Tim and Todd. It was probably written in the 70's, but I am not sure about that. Their parents divorced and it was a fairly wealthy, but dysfunctional family. One of the twins killed either the mother of the father, the father, I think. One of the things that I remember about the father was that he couldn't take the time to tell the boys apart and called each one of them Tim/Todd.

This may not be the actual name of the boys, but it was the name used in the book and there were photos, so I believe it was their name.

I read this in the 70's, I think, but I believe the murder took place in the late 50's or in the 60's. Does anyone know of this book?

Tim and Todd Nicholson. Tim shot Todd in 1964. I don't know specifically what book you are looking for, but you can read about Tim and Todd in Evil Twins: Chilling True Stories of Twins, Killing and Insanity.

Maybe this is the book: "Death of the Other Self" by Peter Packer: "This is the true story of the Nicholson twins (Tim and Todd) heirs to the Pullman sleeping car and Cudahy Meat-packing fortunes, and their relationship that ended in murder."
