Murder, I Write

True Tales of Jealousy, Betrayal, and Revenge

By: Kathryn Casey

Narrated by: Debbie Andreen

A small town, East Texas love triangle ends in a brutal execution. A teenage girl guns down her loving mother. A drag queen falls in love with a beautiful young woman, resulting in a horrific murder. A woman left for dead by a serial killer refuses to be a victim. These are just four of the cases explored in Murder, I Write, an exciting new anthology by critically acclaimed true crime author Kathryn Casey.

During 30 years in the trenches covering sensational murder cases, Casey's career has taken her from victims' homes, to homicide units, to face-offs with cold-blooded killers. In these fascinating behind-the-headlines true accounts of jealousy, betrayal, and revenge, Casey explores the worst men do and profiles those who triumph over evil.

Fewer details than I like

I typically like this author. This version with many small stories feels a little rushed, but I guess that is typical of this short story format. I wish she would focus a little less on the gory details of the crimes and a little more on the psychology and background of the victims and perpetrators. It is just the wrong mix of information to shorten the stories for my taste.

The writing is good. This narrator always speaks very clearly and deliberately. She is easy to listen to.

Meh

I usually like Casey's books but I found the narrator in this one to be incredibly distracting. Using "quote" and "unquote" for presumably every third-party statement was odd. Not my cup of tea.

loved it

Very nice detailed account without being too lengthy in each story . I would recommend without hesitation. great performance

Nice collection of stories

An easy listen. These are of older cases, so if you're looking for recent stories you may be disappointed. I watched one of the cases reenacted on TV a few months back. The narrator did a good job as well. If you're into True Crime, you'll enjoy it.

Houston area tales of Murder

Narration was great. The stories were riveting. As a native Houstonian I am always interested to read true crime stories from our area. My hometown has many dark tales to tell. I didn't even realize the book was based in this area until I started listening. Totally random pick through Book Bub. What a surprise!
