Book Description:
When the body of 45-year-old Glen Harrelson was found in his Denver home, police tried to contact his wife, but soon they made a startling realization. She had played the part of grieving widow once before: her previous husband also had died a mysterious accidental death...
In a true story as shocking as any fiction, The Confessions of an American Black Widow is the amazing account of Sharon Lynn Nelson, a wild, beautiful preacher's wife who couldn't get enough-enough sex, enough money, or enough of her rugged "Mountain Man" lover, Gary Adams. Nelson was so consumed by greed that she convinced Adams to killed two of her three husbands in order to cash in on their insurance policies.
Here is a compelling portrait of a woman driven by the darkest forces to mate, then kill--an American black widow who ultimately got snared in her own twisted web...

Remember the Tylenol poisoning case? This woman is responsible for all those hard-to-break seals being on pills now!

It seems that Sharon Fuller Nelson Harrelson lives her life as the heroine of an ongoing series of "bodice ripper" novels. Sharon would be an unlikely fictional character. The way she captivates and manipulates a number of married men is unbelievable. They seem to lose all sense of family responsibility and even decency as they marry this sexy woman who blissfully continues affair after affair. The one man she can't marry is just as captivated by her as the others, but can't seem to totally dump his wife. He is, however, willing to kill for her to keep her as his lover.

Sharon Nelson couldn't get enough sex,money or men. She convinced her lover Gary Adams to kill two of her three husbands in order to get cash in on their insurance policies.She had countless affairs,abortions and not an ounce of gult. She was the black widow that ruined countless lives beyond repair including her four children. An unbelievable story of a woman able to lie, cheat,steal,and kill with no remorse.

I could barely keep up with the sexual exploits of this woman! Great read, a page-turner, as unlikeable as Sharon is, you are dying to know what she had the gall to do next.

Shri H. from STAUNTON, VA wrote on 6/5/2007...THis is the second book I've read by Greg Olsen and it was very well written. He presents the story from several perspectives and even attempts to make the "black widow" sympathetic -- to some degree :) I got a kick out of his subtle barbs about her behavior and attitudes. It was very well researched and all the people in the story seemed real to me. Another great job by Gregg Oleson. If you haven't read Starvation Heights, you should take a look.
Very well written....can't believe that she could kill more then one husband.
Avery Sexy Book that is as Disturbing as it is seductive.
An amazing and shocking account of a beautiful wife who just could'nt get enough-enough sex,money,or men. Tis is a compelling story of a woman driven by the darkest forces to mate, then kill-an AMERICAN BLACK WIDOW WHO ULTIMATELY GOT SNARED IN HER OWN TRAP.Thrilling, areal page turner.
