Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this audio ARC. This was a crazy, fun ride! I went into the book blind and am glad I did. I didn't know what was going to happen next. Highly recommend!

OMG! I am a sucker for a good true crime story. I 100% would recommend reading/listening to this book! I listened to the whole book in 1 day!
Trigger warnings: Crime, Domestic violence, language
I did listen to the audio book. Honestly at first I didn't like the narration, however it defiantly improved. I just felt like at the beginning of the book the narrator was trying too hard, or just sounded off, but he did relax and it sounded more natural and was much easier to listen too.
It is hard to tell much about the story w/o spoilers so lets just say....
This book includes a Texas family, murder for hire, FBI, and sounds so insane it's hard to believe its true. Not to mention the twists and turns your not sure what will happen.

I love reading True Crime books, but this one was a little different. I couldn't tell if the dialogue was meant to be simple/elementary, degrading t0 the intellect of the supposed speakers, or antiquated as in 1940s "wholesome" speech. The story was definitely intriguing enough to be written about... the villain was vile, despicable, and cruel. The victim along with her family and friends, however, were made out to be simple-minded, naive, and hokey to the point of hilarity. When threatened with the death of a loved one IF secret plans were made known.... EVERYONE spread the secret. Literally no one kept their mouths shut. It was as if everyone was a 4-year-old drama queen with no threat of a timeout in the corner. I'm shocked that half of the people in this book didn't get themselves killed through stupidity.
Then again, I'm not sure if these were the true thoughts and actions of the people in the book or if this was a misrepresentation made by the author in errancy or just for entertainment purposes. I'm VERY interested to see other's opinions on this!
Altogether, this was an entertaining book. If it wasn't a true story, this could definitely be made into a blundering comedy movie.
