Search - Open Secrets: A True Story of Love, Jealousy, and Murder (St. Martin's True Crime Library)

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 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...

I loved this book! I am a big fan of true crime books and this was one of the best I have read in a long time.

Carlton Stowers is a True Crime author that I would put next to Ann Rule. He draws you into the story. It is difficult to put the book down.

A small child is taking a nap, when in the next room his mother is killed. Who could have done such a thing? Her estranged husband? Her boyfriend? Could it be a robbery gone wrong? This story is full of twists and turns and will keep your attention through the last page.
