Exceptionally interesting true crime...
Young, beautiful and naive Barbra Piotrowsky falls in love with a handsome, much older, Texas multi-millionaire Richard Minns.
Love turns into obsession before Barbra learns Minns is married, but somehow, he is able to convince her he is in an "open marriage" and talks her into staying.
With time comes physical abuse and eventually Barbra moves out, but Richard is so obsessed, he refuses to accept someone walking out on him. Barbra is still naive enough to think their relationship can be saved, while Richard is more concerned she'll go after his money. Minns new obsession is having Barbra killed, and money is no object.

Narcissism, obsession, manipulation - this story has it all.

The author, Suzanne Finstad, ALWAYS seems to research her books meticulously. This is no exception. Great read - hard to put down!
