Lie After Lie

Lie After Lie by Lara Bricker: NOOKbook CoverSynopsis


A seemingly perfect world held an even more unlikely killer...



Julie Keown had a great job, financial security, and a perfect husband who was attending Harvard Business School. But after Julie suddenly died, and doctors discovered she's been poisoned with the main ingredient in antifreeze, her parents began to suspect that her husband, James, was not so perfect. This blow-by-blow account shows how investigators and state police unraveled James Keown's chilling web of deceit.



My Thoughts
Amazing. I always love true crime stories. I find them to be very interesting. It seems crazy that people do the things they do but we all know these people are out there. We teach our kids daily about the strangers and the danger.
But... your husband? Son-in-Law? Brother? Son? The list goes on....... Would you ever think some one in your close family would kill their wife?  To treat them well to their face and in front of others while behind their backs-the poisoning begins.
I believe Julie knew more than what people thought she did about parts of her husbands behaviour. Julie may not have wanted to believe it, but I think she knew they had issues with money to start with.
I could be wrong and maybe she was innocently in the dark. Its hard for me to believe that she knew nothing. How can anyone be so blind? It wasn't only Julie that was in the dark though, what about all the others that he fooled with his lies?
I have already started my next book of true crime. It already blows my mind after a couple chapters, more on that when I finish....

I think you're right. There are little clues that are left for the one that was killed. It's too bad that they deny them until they are the victim. Rarely, I think, does this kind of thing happen right out of the blue. It's been such a long time since I read a true crime book. I must have one somewhere on my bookshelf...

I enjoy crime stories, even if the writing is poor - which certainly wasn't this case.
