This is one of the saddest true crime books I've read. This woman, it seemed, tried to truly live a life that reflected her deeply held religious convictions. Her husband, very successful in business, appears to have worn a facade that matched his wife's. The evil beneath his was made appallingly evident when he brutally ended her life.

This crime took place in my hometown so it was interesting to see how the town was described. Plus I know one of the ADA's. Great book!!

This was a very interesting read. I remembered only vaguely when the incident actually happened, but as I read on, it all came back. The author was concise with his story, but it was still very interesting. The book flowed well and is one that you want to keep and read again.

This is a very interesting true story. This family had everything going for them--then greed. This wife lived for her husband and everything she did was to better or help him. After so many years of marriage he, suppose to be so true to God, ended a beautiful life. There are lots of pictures and the book is an easy read.
