A very interesting true crime. Hard to believe a woman can do that to someone she professes to love so much. The real losers are the kids in this whole mess and Jimmy's family. The jury got it right, despite her proclamations of innocence. If you love true crime books this is a great one to pick up, it will fascinate and hold you till the end.

Wow! A great read! John Glatt is truly a true crime artist. We get to personally know the people through the personal interviews Mr. Glatt has with family and friends. With this background knowledge, we are better able to understand, to some extent, what makes a person create and act out a crime of passion. If you enjoy true crime, latch on to this book. Thanks John Glatt!
