The very eerie, shocking story of a sociopathic mother and the sons she manipulates and controls. She tricked her family out of lots of money and became well known in NY society circles - only to be accused and jailed for murder. A true story.

Money, Madness, murder: a family album.

I think Alexander fell prey to identifying way too much with her subject in writing the book, but there is a lot of detail in the story.

Wonderfully written, suspenseful, keeps you on the edge of your seat.
