Phoenix, Arizona, 2004. Former stripper-turned-suburban-housewife Marjorie Orbin filed a missing person's report on her husband. She claimed that Jay, a successful art dealer, had left town on business after celebrating their son's birthday more than a month before. Jay loved his family more than life itself - and no one believed he would ever abandon them. Authorities suspected foul play....
A Wife Lying in Wait
The search for Jay made local headlines. But key elements in Marjorie's story still weren't adding up: Why did she wait so long before going to police? If Jay was away on business, as she claimed, why were there charges made to his credit card in Phoenix? Then, the unthinkable happened.
A Shocking Discover
Jay's headless, limbless torso was discovered on the outskirts of the Phoenix desert - and all evidence pointed to Marjorie as the killer. Soon, an exhaustive investigation would reveal surprising new details about her life - six previous marriages, an ongoing and passionate affair with a man from her gym, alleged ties to the New York mafia, a drug habit - and lead to her conviction for the murder and dismemberment of her seventh husband.

The narrator seemed to be a good fit to the story. I'm a big fan of Kevin Pierce reading true crime books, and at first the female voice confused me a little. But I got to like her, and I believe she was a good selection for a female killer who was so meticulous about her appearance, and so self-centered. The narrator articulates carefully, and I could imagine the killer having a similar voice.
I know the victim was introduced early in the book, but by the time we got to the killer's various husbands & lovers, I had forgotten the victim's name -- so I wondered about each introduction. "Is this the man?"
The last chapter was a special addition, too. The killer apparently wrote an "If I did It" fictional account, and it was a good ending to hear what the killer wanted us to believe.
Good true crime story!

The only couple of things that bothered me were 1) the way the narrator pronounced the word "All-timers" instead of Alzheimer's. It was like hearing a 10yr old trying to pronounce it... and 2) was the way the author refers to every female in the story as, "slim, with striking features... and very attractive!" She says that about the murderer, the murderer's friends/acquaintances, the second prosecutor at the murderer's trial, etc., etc., etc! I guess it will be overlooked because the author is a female, but it seemed strange and after a while it was easy to predict whenever a new female was introduced in the story.
Great book and great story
