About this listen

In August 2015, Limerick man Jason Corbett was murdered by his wife, Molly Martens, and her father, ex-FBI agent Tom Martens, in the bedroom of their luxury North Carolina home. He had been savagely beaten to death with a baseball bat and brick while his children slept nearby. For his sister, Tracey Corbett-Lynch, and the rest of his family in Ireland, it was just the beginning of the nightmare that would involve a custody battle for his orphaned children, an online hate campaign by Molly Martens, and, ultimately, the gripping trial that would lead to her conviction, alongside her father, for his murder.

My Brother Jason is the story of how this seemingly all-American girl from a picture-perfect family targeted the widowed Jason Corbett, becoming nanny to his children in a desperate bid to create the family and security she craved, thus setting in motion a series of events that would lead to Jason’s brutal killing by the woman he had once loved.

Here, for the first time, Tracey Corbett-Lynch tells her family's side of the story in a book that contains shocking revelations about Molly Marten's history of strange behavior and the lengths she was willing to go to in order to get custody of Jason's children.

Beautiful story, beautifully, written, and beautifully read.

I’m not sure I could say more about this title. I laughed and I cried, and I deeply felt every step along the way with the author. It was heart-
wrenching and beautiful at the same time.

I am sad to learn about the most recent developments of this case. I have no doubt, though, that Jason‘s children will be safe in the arms of his sister.

Heartfelt

I have not read a book that touched me this much ever. I stand amazed at the integrity of Jason’s family when faced with the worst characteristics of an entitled father and daughter. Respect and appreciation are what I gained for the community of North Carolina in showing real Christian hospitality. The Irish family values and their determination to uphold it come what may reinforce my view of a nation with firm foundations. One-of-a-kind, yet very human, life story. Thanks for sharing Jason’s story with me.

Writing this before seeing any other reviews

Because I don't like to be influenced by other views and have confirmation bias.

The main problem with this book is the narration. I don't know the nationality of the narrator and it may be that the lilting intonation is because she is Irish but I found it highly irritating. It made sentences sound sacchirine.

The accents were appalling.

I only kept going because I wanted to actually continue with the story.

And now I'm off to see if I was the only one with this critique.

Beautifully written and narrated

I really enjoyed listening to this terribly tragic story, the family and friends of the victim seem like wonderful people- very sad circumstances leading to this criminal act by Molly Martens and Tom Martens- they are sick individuals.

This needed to be told.

I saw the 20/20 special and they really painted it with a Martens family brush. Even watching that special you knew there was a whole lot they weren’t telling us. Without any spoilers this sets the record straight. My only issues (and it’s a minuscule one) is that the narrator could get a little sing-songy (don’t think that’s a word but think you get my drift) at some points but this is very minor as overall she was great. Well done!!!!

Hard to Finish

While this is quite a riveting story, it is poorly written and presented with such horrible narration, that it’s quite a struggle to get through this book.
The book is weak on details and overly loaded with emotions. The female narrator’s breathy voice trails off for the last phrase of virtually each sentence. The male characterizations are similar to those in horror movies at times. It’s OK for a free book. But I think looking up the news articles would be more interesting.

Terribly sad story with terrible narration

The narrator could not seem to get any accents right and has an extremely annoying way of lengthening the last syllable of every sentence in a distracting and melodramatic way. Almost gave up. Book makes no pretense of unbiased perspective, so no surprises in what was portrayed. It could have benefited from much crisper editing, as it seemed many anecdotes and quotes were repeated unnecessarily.

A story of love, loyalty, and determination

This beautifully written tribute to her brother who was cruelly taken from them moved me to tears on several occasions. The horrific details of Jason's story and what their family endured for years was very eloquently told by Tracy. I finished this book in less than 24 hours and it took me on an emotional roller coaster. This tragic story will make you weep for this sweet, loving, supportive family.
