Book Description

<div><div>What makes a model father murder his estranged wife, then go on TV pleading for her to come home? How does a devoted wife and mother walk into a beauty salon and shoot her ex-husband's pregnant lover in cold blood? No one ever knows what really goes on behind the closed doors of a marriage in freefall. The people in this book weren't born evil, but in the heat of a relationship break-up, all restraint melted and violent passions spiraled out of control. The most basic of emotions are involved in these stories of spouses who have gone to extreme lengths to rid themselves of their partners.

Reader Reviews

As a true crime reader, I've read over 100 books dealing with the subject. What drew me to this book is that it has 12 stories all in one neat package. Not only that, there are stories from the UK, which is refreshing as I've read so many from the US, it's hard to find new ones! The chapters read more like 'stories' than your traditional true crime. Heavy on drama, light on police work and background, the tales are none the less interesting and intriguing. I loved being able to read one or two before bed. While not as heavy as many other TC that focus on one in-depth story, it's still a great read. Full color pics are nice as well.
