About this audiobook
“Anything by Phelps is always an eye-opening experience.” —Suspense Magazine
Sheila Davalloo was young, attractive, and successful. When she started a new job at a cutting-edge research lab in Stamford, Connecticut, she met the man of her dreams. Nelson Sessler had no idea how violently Sheila would react when he began seeing a co-worker, Anna Lisa Raymundo. Sheila eliminated her rival in a bloody knife attack—and then turned her rage on another victim she saw as an obstacle to her passions. M. Williams Phelps recounts the riveting story of a white-collar love triangle gone horribly wrong…and the terrifying infatuation that drove one woman to kill.
“Phelps is the Harlan Coben of real-life thrillers.” —Allison Brennan
“M. William Phelps dares to tread where few others will: into the mind of a killer.” —TV Rage

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lol leighpod must be the female killer in this book. Its not a bad one, you cant help but love Phelps esp if you have seen him on tv. His hands are tied. Its interesting on one hand because the perp is a freak. On the other hand she is such a nut case that you get tired of hearing about her. Yet if you liked "fatal attraction" , you will like this. Puts your eyebrows up thinking of your husband or son being around this caliber of female. The men either sex issues that border on mental illness or completely naive. Should come more at here you idiot man trying to put your "you know what" in any coworker that gives you the time of day...heres what can happen. Sad thing it was the girlfriend that took the hell... whom this dork who got involved with the perp did not deserve. Why cant we teach our children to not act like ignorant animals..and not to date those that do? It may save their life.

I wonder who cares less about their readers-- Kindle or Mr Phelps? If you sift down through the reviews you will see many that say the photos are wrong, that Kindle was advised, and promised they would be updated. Ah, no. In addition, the commentary by Mr Phelps is childish and unprofessional, but worse is his writing. I wish I had jotted down some of the myriad examples but his analogies are clunky and ham-fisted, and the book at times weighted with tedium--especially in the endless description of the love triangle. Do not bother with this book- not worth it, even for two bucks.
