Story4.5 out of 5 stars 63
On October 23, 1989, affluent businessman Charles Stuart made a frantic 911 call from his car to report that he and his seven-months-pregnant wife, Carol, a lawyer, had been robbed and shot by a Black male in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston. By the time police arrived, Carol was dead, and the baby was soon lost as well. The attack incited a furor during a time of heightened racial tension in the community. Even more appalling, while the injuries were real, Stuart’s story was a hoax: He was the true killer.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 268
One night, in a small North Carolina town, a down-on-his-luck guard at Loomis Fargo manages to steal $17 million - literally more than one ton of cash. Despite being caught on camera wheeling the money from the vault to the getaway van, David Ghantt makes off to Mexico before the FBI can blink. There's just one hitch: Ghantt has entrusted the money to an oddball crew of accomplices who had wooed him into committing this massive theft in the first place - and who, he soon learns, are trying to take him out.

It is a good story of a huge heist, by a bunch of not-so-smart cohorts.

A promising young attorney and a dedicated family man, Michael Fletcher seemed to have it all. But in the summer of 2000, Michael found himself standing trial for the murder of his pregnant wife, Leann.

What could possibly have led Michael Fletcher to commit such a gruesome act?

Pro-Defense book👎
Reviewed: 06-05-23
I already knew this story, but not in such detail. So I decided to give it a listen. I quit a little halfway thru the book because it was annoyingly biased for the defense. He 100% did this crime & I refuse to listen to someone try to twist every minute detail, to try & make it look like a weak case.

It was hard to listen to, only because of how manipulative & evil this man was. A very, intriguing but sad story. I feel for anyone who ever crossed paths with this malignant narcissist.

I kept waiting for the story about Ghislaine. But, it was basically about Vicky & her interactions with Jeffrey. Way over dramatized. Nothing new.

Story5 out of 5 stars 27,390
Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

So, I should start this by saying I am a white, conservative female. This was recommended for my book club. It starts off pretty offensive to white people's if you do not listen beyond the words. I actually wanted to turn it off about 5 minutes in. But am I glad I kept listening. It really pulls you in, and transforms you into his shoes & story, and makes you do some deep thinking. If only we could ALL do this with one another, the world would be more peaceful. Definitely a book/Audible I would not have picked on my own, but glad I read/listened to.
