Another great "True Crime"!

A very good book by this author with an almost unbelievable story,--complicated but author tells it very clearly and with feeling and compassion for those victims of the crime. Good narration too!

Good Book

Unbelievable story, but author tells it well. A lot of details in this twist and turn crime story

If it wasn’t true crime you wouldn’t believe it.

It’s interesting that people can be manipulated by such a selfish person. All this person cared about was herself. She had it all and it wasn’t good enough. Now she has nothing and that’s exactly what she deserves. This was an interesting listen. Give it a try.

Wow!

I knew people could be selfish but wow! I love the narrator I love the storyline and the details. Been looking for someone to replace all my Ann Rule books and Kathryn Casey nailed it!

Texas Case/ Evil woman

Good details and narrative. Loved the chronicle of a woman’s life of greed, selfishness, and ruthlessness. I would not believe all the allegations against this wife and mother- but the evidence was overwhelming and explained succinctly. Fun to hear the anger displayed (sour grapes) by the defense attorney.
