This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
What do you do when you have struggled loyally for years beside your husband, living in financial hardship as you bring up your joint children virtually as a single mother, working toward the good times that you can see coming for all of you, only to discover that your husband is committing adultery and is planning to leave you? Worse, he aggressively denies his affair, denouncing you as crazy to your face and to everyone you know, while he schemes to walk off with everything you have worked so hard for as he is reborn into a new life with a star-struck younger woman, as pretty as you once were, who will enjoy everything you have invested in – your financial security, your home-life and even your children. Worse still, he is a notoriously hard-ball lawyer with every intention of crushing you in any way he can, of erasing you from his life, of reducing you to nothing, so that he can move on as if you never existed. Daniel T. Broderick III’s relentless harassment of his discarded wife, Betty, made her increasingly crazy as he and his girlfriend – then second wife – Linda Kolkena Broderick piled on the pressure, until one day, on November 5, 1989, at her wits’ end and believing herself to be acting in self-defense, she confronted them in the early hours of the morning and in a panic shot them both dead. A multitude of onlookers has absolved Betty for what she did. Many even admire her, especially if they have suffered similar fates to hers. One juror at her trial openly questioned why she had taken so long to kill Dan under such extreme provocation. Now, twenty-five years into a thirty-two year to life prison sentence for her second-degree murder of Dan and Linda Broderick, Betty has reluctantly decided to give her personal account of what led up to that fatal and fateful day, when all three of their futures came violently and abruptly to an end.

I really enjoyed the story, loved the background point of view. But didn’t like the AI voice

The audio voice was very hard to listen to . The book skipped over major events and left me feeling she was only being open and honest when she chose to . I do not agree with how Dan treated her but her behavior was over the top also .
This was a story of 2 egotistical people who get married , had kids and did not care about their kids and were only wanting what was best for themselves .

Disappointed

i didn't like AI voice. It mispronounced some common words. The story was good in spite of the robotic sound.

Liked the sincerity that comes across. I could relate to the author and felt her anguish and humility as she described her ordeal.

It is good to hear Betty's perspective. it really a matter of having to walk a mile in her shoes.

Excellent

The thoughts on social, cultural expectations creating vulnerability to a charming narcissistic personality gives one a lot to ponder; things are less black and white. I appreciated the effort. Listen with an open mind as she expressses her experiences, her reactions and hindsight awareness of how things went terribly wrong.

interesting to hear her perspective

I have known and followed Betty Roderick‘s story for years since it first happened.
Unbelievable life she was forced to live with Dan Broderick
The only good thing that came out of that marriage was her kids and the life he took from her over the years and the things he got away with through the San Diego Court system were were unbelievable. I’m sorry she’s where she’s at, but I think I would’ve done the same thing but probably sooner lol

Great book !

I liked the book it is a very interesting sad story. The virtual voice took some getting used to but the story is so good I did not mind.

Her side of the story

I watched the actual trial on YouTube and she is really stretching the truth. Even her kids state she exaggerated the truth. I totally believe she was treated poorly by her husband but I just don't buy that he was this evil person she's trying very hard to convince her readers he was. I am glad to hear her version but I also believe she's trying to justify her actions. I dint think she has remorse but I think she regrets that she's going to die in prison.

listening but taking it with a grain of salt

She always blamed everyone else for her crazy behavior and never acknowledged her bad behavior.

She never mentioned the crazy stuff she did
