To Have and To Kill: Nurse Melanie McGuire, an Illicit Affair, and the Gruesome Murder of Her Husband
reviewed on + 29 more book reviews


Melanie McGuire had a loving husband, two beautiful children and was a highly respected nurse. So what was her problem? She was in love with another man. So why not get a divorce? It was easier for her to kill and dismember her husband, or so she thought. Melanie was described throughout the book as being slender and sometimes underweight, so how did she manage to carry suitcases filled with body parts and throw them into the bay? "To Have and to Kill" is an interesting story and a good read.
