About this listen
On March 16, 1992, Elizabeth DeCaro, a 28 year-old mother of four, was found dead in her own home, murdered execution-style with two bullets to the head. Her husband, Rick, was immediately a suspect, having previously struck her "accidentally" with the family van after taking out a $100,000 life insurance policy on her. A Killer Among Us presents the true shocking story of Elizabeth's family and their search for justice against the man who continued to play father to the children whose mother he had killed.
This real-life case has fascinating legal elements - three trials, a death penalty conviction, and a dramatic reversal in federal court - and has received extensive local and national coverage.
Charles Bosworth Jr. is the author of the New York Times best sellers Previous Victims and Silent Witness.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would. This is a true crime story. It's a long book to listen to but well worth it.What did you like best about this story?
Justice finally prevailed.Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite?
I didn't really have a favorite.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When they found Rick not guilty at his state trial. I was very angered, also at all the abusive things his kids had to endure at his hands.Any additional comments?
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBlast dot com.Heart wrenching story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story was a bit one-sided though, and unfortunately I was 100% convinced that the final verdict was correct. I'd like to read an account from the Decaro side just to balance out the story a bit. Otherwise, it was compelling and a great read.
Kevin Pierce is the best
