I started ~To Have and to Kill ~last night and I couldn't put it down( John Glatt).  I think it is on someone's wish list already..but you should also put it on yours.  I watched the trial on Court TV and I am finding out all sorts of thingsthat  I never knew about nurse Melanie McGuire and the hubby she chopped up and put into suitcases..so she could be with her boss..the doctor.   She is such a beautiful and smart lady..it was very hard to believe that she had done such a horrible deed.  The book shows some other sides of her that weren't brought out in the trial.  This is really a good read for the true crime buff!

This was really a good true crime book.  I do believe that Melanie had help with this crime and I doubt we ever find out who.  She is beautiful and smart and men are easily smitten with her.  Even after finding out she killed her hubby..one guy was still mesmerized by her charm.  She had a chance for this rich high life with her doctor boyfriend..if she had divorced her hubby instead of chopping him into pieces!!
