When a woman was murdered, the obvious first suspects were her estranged husband and her new boyfriend. What unfolded was far more complicated than that.
This is a very interesting case that took years to unfold.
Courtroom scenes are minimal; good epilogue telling the status of each participant.

This book is so well written that I would put the author in the same class as Ann Rule. I did not want to put it down. There are so many characters and twists and turns. The murderer was a very interesting character. Excellent book - I would give it the highest rating and would recommend it to anyone.

This is a strange story and will make your head spin with all the details and people involved. What starts off as a brutal senseless murder progresses through the lives of many. The murderer is definitely unstable but is able to function well and without detection for a long time. The fact she was tracked down and the efforts put in by the detectives to solve this were amazing. It's hard to believe that someone would murder for such a stupid reason and more incredible that she would so easily find someone to follow thru with her plans. Truth is truly better than fiction...
