About this listen
"Mommy...won't be with us anymore."
That's what attorney Kevin C. Bryant, 45, told his two young sons in the spring of 2003. At the time, blond, pretty, 26-year-old Tabatha Bryant was alive and well in an upscale suburb of Rochester, New York. But that was about to change - because Bryant knew his wife was cheating, and he intended to end the affair by ending her life. On June 14, 2003, he called 9-1-1 to report Tabatha slain by an unknown intruder who'd shot her in the eye with a .22 and repeatedly stabbed her in the neck and upper body. Soon, a drug bust led to Cassidy Green's confession that she'd driven the getaway car. She fingered boyfriend Cyril Winebrenner as the killer.
Winebrenner and Kevin Bryant were buddies who'd regularly gone on cocaine-fueled sex binges with hookers. Astoundingly, Winebrenner was also the victim's half-brother - but Bryant's offer of $5,000 had convinced him that money is thicker than blood.
In a trial that shook "Country Club Row," prosecutors would present evidence and testimonies that revealed even more sordid details, bringing the lawyer who tried to get away with murder to justice.

On September 28, 2000, former Indiana state trooper David Camm made a frantic call to his former colleagues in the state troopers office: He had just walked into his garage and found lying on the floor the bodies of his 35-year-old wife Kim and their two children Brad and Jill, ages seven and five. Three days later, things got worse when police arrested David Camm for the triple murder. Soon new stories started emerging about mistresses and violent bursts of temper.

Roger and Penny Scaggs seemed a poster couple for family values. Evangelical Christians living in booming Austin, Texas, in the mid-1990s, they were respected leaders in their church and community. As Roger diligently worked his way up the high-tech corporate ladder, Penny kept a pristine home and coached similarly devout young women on how to be perfect wives. But on a windy March evening, this godly woman met the devil head-on.

Joyce Aparo seemed to be the perfect single mother. She doted on her sixteen-year-old daughter, Karin, encouraging her musical ability and lavishing affection on her. But behind closed doors, Joyce was a terror. For thirteen years, she beat Karin savagely and demeaned her relentlessly. When Karin met the troubled yet brilliant Dennis Coleman, the two fell head-over-heels. But Joyce disapproved—so she had to die.

In 1911 two British heiresses, Claire and Dora Williamson, read a brochure about a revolutionary fasting treatment that promised a lifetime of good health. The sanatorium in the village of Olalla, west of Seattle, was surrounded by a beautiful forest, sparkling waters and fresh air. The sisters agreed it sounded perfect and exactly the restorative holiday they needed. But within a month of arriving, under the supervision of Doctor Linda Burfield Hazzard, Claire and Dora began to realise the frightening truth – they were not patients but prisoners at the isolated sanitorium.

In 1985, Charles Ng and Leonard Lake were spotted shoplifting. Ng escaped, but Lake's capture led police to a concrete bunker in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where they discovered the grisly evidence of an orgy of sex crimes, torture, and murder that claimed at least 16 victims. Lake committed suicide: Ng fled to Canada, where he was tracked down and extradited to California. This 14-year, $10 million legal case was the costliest and longest criminal prosecution in California history.

Story
After his first grisly crime, Harvey Louis Carignan beat a death sentence and continued to manipulate, rape, and bludgeon women to death - using want ads to lure his young female victims. And time after time, justice was thwarted by a killer whose twisted legal genius was matched only by his sick savagery. Here, complete with the testimony of women who suffered his unspeakable sexual abuses and barely escaped with their lives and of the police who at last put him behind bars, is one of the most shattering and thought-provoking true-crime stories of our time.

In January 1982, an elderly white widow was found brutally murdered in the small town of Greenwood, South Carolina. Police immediately arrested Edward Lee Elmore, a semiliterate, mentally retarded black man with no previous felony record. His only connection to the victim was having cleaned her gutters and windows, but barely ninety days after the victim’s body was found, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Elmore had been on death row for eleven years when a young attorney named Diana Holt first learned of his case.

Story
The most common triggers for homicide are fear, rage, revenge, money, lust, and, more rarely, sheer madness. This isn’t an exact science, of course. Any given murder can have multiple triggers. Sex and revenge seem to be common partners in crime. This book offers my memories of homicide cases that I investigated or oversaw. In each case, I examine the trigger that led to death. I chose this theme for the book because even though the why of a murder case may not be critical in an investigation, it can sometimes lead us to the killer.

The 31-year-old oil field worker and small-time drug dealer was clad only in jeans, a checkered shirt, and cowboy boots. Inside the cab of the truck was a fresh package of expensive steaks from a local butcher shop, the first lead in a case that would be quickly lost in a thicket of bungled forensics, shady prosecution, and a psychopathic star witness out for revenge.

What a tragic
I really don't understand people mostly men who want their other to sleep with other men why they watch or all play together but when the other goes out on their own they get mad. When one does these things they are opening a whole new can of worms that should never have been opened. I thought the author did a good job laying out the case and the facts. I did think it was a little longer than it needed to be but it was a good listen that I got lost in.
I thought the narrator did a good job pulling the listener in with the facts the author gave. There are no repeating of words, no volume changes, no background noise. I really enjoyed it.

Not sure about this author
Pretty straight forward story. Not sure how this author feels about women/sex workers. I know this was done before the term sex worker came into use, but he uses the term whore at least 3 times when talking about prostitutes. He goes into, let’s say, a detailed description of the strip club and it’s performers. So much so I think he spent as much time “researching” that as the rest of the story. Over all not bad, but if you can find a different book on this case I would try that.

Gets bogged down in court proceedings
Like way too many true crime books written these days, the author seems to rely too much on public records for his info, especially videos or transcripts of court proceedings. The story arc is patchy, confusing, and gets bogged down way too often. I wish there had been more character development and psychological insight. I think this book was probably rushed to market -- and it shows.

Just OK
I love true crime and a deep dive into personalities and consequences. But when a victim repeatedly makes bad choices and is hard to even relate to, it takes away a fundamental sympathy that makes so many crimes feel personal. Not one person in this book (besides a very capable judge) had a redeeming quality.

Not a favorite
Not certain why but it was a struggle to finish. The narrator also, not my favorite...may try again later.

Collection of Transcripts and Interview Notes
The case itself is wonderfully sordid, but this book reads more like a case file given its heavy reliance on unedited transcripts, statements, and interviews. I found these interesting in their own right, but the author did little to edit out the chaff.

Tooooo Longgggg
It wasn't a very interesting, keep you on the edge of your seat book by any means. It was a struggle through most of it because it just droned on and on and on and on. Way too much information that was not needed to the point that I had to literally fast forward through sections and sections of it. The book could have been half that and done just as well. The narrator performance sucked! It was like listening to paint peeling!

Monotonous!
Author goes on an on about boring minutiae and gets bogged down with unnecessary information. I found this annoying and could not get into the story.
