About this listen

In August of 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez shot their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, to death—a cold-blooded act that shocked the nation. Seven years later, the brothers were convicted of murder, and both were sentenced to life in prison without parole. The brothers' first trial started a media frenzy and was filled with lurid details, but these never clearly explained why they killed their parents.

Now, catch a rare glimpse inside the mind of one of the most notorious murderers in American history. In Lyle's own voice, listeners can hear him as he speaks to Norma Novelli, with whom he corresponded for years. Listen as he divulges to Norma many never-before-shared secrets, and then decide for yourself what caused the Menendez brothers to commit their horrifying crime.

Boring

There is no more information in this book than the trial. The only incite you'll receive from listening is that of novelli and o'donnell. I'd like those 3 hours of my life back.

Save your money & your sanity

Don't let the sample fool you. Most of the book consists of recorded telephone conversations of an egotistical and self-deluded Lyle Menendez. There's very little analysis of them and they very quickly become tiring and monotonous. The pandering of his female subject is annoyingly sickening.
