Book Description:
Susan Wright was a victim...who admitted to killing her husband Jeffrey in their Harris County home in 2003, by stabbing him to death in self-defense. She recounted a harrowing tale of domestic abuse-one that the raging mother of two finally brought to an end-her way.

But prosecutors had a story of their own...

Susan Wright was a seductress...who set the mood for kinky sex with her unsuspecting husband. After tying Jeffrey to the bed, Susan straddled him, stabbed him 193 times with a butcher knife, then buried his body in a makeshift grave in their backyard.

Justice would not come easy. The fury was just beginning.

The bloodstained theatrics that unfolded in the Houston courtroom would stun jurors, make national headlines, and brand Susan Wright as both a desperate martyr on the edge and
a brutal killer who would be brought to justice.

Kind of disappointing - I was left with more questions than answers when I finished the book. Seems like the author rushed to be the first to profit from the crime.

Great book. Hard to imagine how a wife could so brutally murder someone she had loved at one time.

A woman who after four years in an abusive marriage came unglued one night.

An intertesting read. The prosecution had a very strong case. Enjoyed the jurors conclusions on how they reached their unamous verdict.

It is sad that she couldn't find divorce a better alternative. Now her children have lost a father and mother as well.

True crime, wife kills husband, was she really fearful for her life and the life of her children?

A fed up woman claims to have been abused. She kills her husband and claims self defense. I am having a hard time with this story. Me being a man is in no way taking up for the husband because this story co7uld have happened the way she said, or it may not have.... decisions decisions

Susan Wright admitted to killing her husband Jeffrey in their Harris County home in 2003. She claimed to have stabbed him to death in self
defense. Her claim was that she suffered long term domestic abuse.
Susan, the mother of two young children claimed to have not only been fearful for her life but for the lives of her children. Finally she decided that the abuse was going to end... her way.
It may seem that I myself am doubtful of her claims even after reading the book from front to back, maybe I am doubtful, its hard to determine wether or not she was telling the truth. That is just my opinion. This is a must read book. Your opinion may differ but we won't know until you read it.
