In Creekstone, Texas, a small, quiet suburb of Houston, football was king and David Temple was a prince. A former high school and college gridiron-star-turned-coach, he had a fairy-tale marriage to bright, vivacious Belinda Lucas, a teacher at the local high school who was so warm and popular her colleagues called her "The Sunshine Girl".
The fairy tale ended savagely on January 11, 1999, when Belinda's lifeless body was discovered in a closet. Her skull had been shattered by a shotgun blast at close range. She was eight months pregnant.
There was no damning evidence directly linking the brutal murder to husband David, who stood by emotionless and dry-eyed as police searched the crime scene. But a dogged eight-year investigation would expose a shocking history of cruelty and domination, infidelity and rage - ultimately resulting in an epic courtroom battle for the ages - as the scandalous truth was revealed about love betrayed and innocent lives shattered.

I admit usually I never am as interested in the court part of the book. But already a fan of Kelly Sigler before "Cold Justice" I really could not stop listening. Yes the prosecutor who never lost a case even when it had a retrial on appeal.
The narrator was great too. I enjoy when they change voices for different characters or at least for sex and age. I also had to listen at the regular speed. This wasn't a slow narration that I had to listen at 150% to 175%. over all I really recommend this for true crime fans, and Anne Rule fans. Oh and start off at 100% speed so you don't get a chipmunk reading like I did. 😂
A can't stop listening/reading book

I thought the narrator did a good job, I thought she did a great job of showing the different peoples emotions. There is no background noise, no repeating of words and no volume changes. I thought her character voices fit the characters really bring them to life.
I really enjoyed this story and really had a hard time putting it down. It really broke my heart, so sad that this is a true story, my heart goes out to the son and her family. I feel his family covered for him and new a lot more than they were saying.
A good true crime listen
