At first, Linda Bergstrom's marriage to her husband James was idyllic. They were young and in love; he was about to enter the Navy and she was eager to start a family. But it wasn't long before the dream exploded. James became abusive and violent, prone to sudden bursts of anger, long silences, and unexplained disappearances. But Linda vowed to hold on, despite the pain and fear...and her disturbing suspicions about her husband's secret life.
Then, not long after their move to Houston, Texas, she made a terrifying discovery: James's hidden cache containing duct tape, a ski mask, and handcuffs. No longer could Linda Bergstrom deny the hideous truth.
The man she lived with, the man she married for love, was a dangerous psychopath. And there was no escape and nowhere to run. Because no one - not her friends, the Navy, or the police - would believe her.

What did you love best about Evil Beside Her?
I loved that he was finally convicted after a long time, both in actual time and during the audible story.Would you be willing to try another book from Kathryn Casey? Why or why not?
YesHave you listened to any of Debbie Andreen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I thought that the narrator was good. I would listen to her again.What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
Nothing stands out but there were many little nuances that have come up since listening.Any additional comments?
By the time that he was convicted, I was really fed up with the main character. I got very tired of hearing her justifications and how perfect and innocent she was. Her decision to stay and stay wore on me and her excuses seemed thin and pointless. I found her to be sniveling and whiny after many hours of listening.Interesting listen that was time well spent.

That aside, I feel horrible for this woman and all she went through. For all this guy’s victims. He’s typical Peeping Tom turn Rapist. The next elevation would have been to murdering the women he raped so there’s no witness. And the reality of “helping” a deviant like this to change his ways is nearly impossible.
Despite my rift on her staying in the marriage, this lady did a whole lot to help bring justice to him for his victims. Rape is difficult case to prove, and hard for victim’s to live thru. She did a great job and never stopped prodding police that her husband was a monster.
Cant fathom this marriage!

Would you consider the audio edition of Evil Beside Her to be better than the print version?
Haven't read the print version, but I prefer audiobooks.What did you like best about this story?
The dilemma Linda was faced with - she couldn't leave James, so she stayed with him hoping he was caught and put away for life.What does Debbie Andreen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Overall, I thought she was very good.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not an extreme reaction, but definitely felt anger towards James and could sympathize with Linda's plight.Any additional comments?
The cover looks really cheesy but don't let that fool you, if your a true crime fan. This is a good book.Don't judge an Audiobook by it's cover

Listener received this title free
I made a promise many years ago to a friend that I would never talk about the horrible things her son did to people and spent over 17 years in prison for it so that promise and this book makes be believe I should not have made the promise.
I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator.
Evil in every sense

For other people in the book the reader used voices that range from cartoonish to honestly kind of offensive accent work. Just like, don’t do voices! Trust your audience.
The books writing is kind of mid. Too many adverbs. Additionally this woman’s motivations are kind of baffling. I fully understand how hard it is to leave a bad relationship but this woman makes some awful choices that aren’t really addressed.
This reader drove me a little crazy.
