Wages of Sin

By: Suzy Spencer

Narrated by: Nikki Zakocs

A Defiled Body

On January 11, 1995, deputies outside Austin, Texas, found a mutilated body laid across a cold campfire—head destroyed, hands cut off, skin singed by fire. In less than three days, they had the kill zone: a small apartment, where shy Christopher Hatton was shot at point blank range in his bed.

The Stripper And The Loser

Stephanie Lynn Martin, despite her devout Southern Baptist upbringing, was reborn as a sultry stripper and calendar girl. William M. Busenburg was a good-looking wannabe living his own lies. They came together in an explosion of violence and sex. Then they decided there was only one thing missing from their romance: murder.

The Thrill Of The Kill

But within days, they were under arrest and savvy prosecutors learned the ugly truth behind the senseless slaughter of Busenburg's friend. How twisted fantasies of murder fueled the couple's lust and led to the unspeakable crime. And how they both tried to cover up their heinous deed . . . until they finally ran out of lies.

Repetitive

The story was gruesome and very sad. the author repeated the story several times, making it drag out longer than necessary.

Awesome reader!

I really enjoyed the reader for this book and also the other Suzy Spencer book. Her voice is great and I could listen all day! Good true crime story as well.

good story line

very interesting. I've read lots of true crime, but not heard one quite like this!

Don’t pay for this

Bad narrator and a tedious retelling of an awful crime.

You could save yourself some time and just read the interview and court transcripts.

Worst Book Ever!

Very poorly written. I literally had to FORCE myself to finish the book!! Do yourself a favor and don’t buy it! It’s not worth the money!!
