    About this audiobook

    The officer responding to a 911 call at one of Houston's hippest high-rises expected the worst. After all, domestic violence situations can be unpredictable. But nothing could've prepared him for what he found: a beautiful woman drenched in blood, an older man lying dead on the floor, and a cobalt blue suede stiletto with tufts of white hair stuck to its five-and-a-half-inch heel.

    With her stunning looks, magnetic personality, and erratic behavior, Ana Trujillo had a notorious reputation on the downtown Houston scene. She spoke often of occult powers, though few knew how deeply she believed such boasts. Stefan Andersson was a gentle soul, a Swedish transplant with a good career and trusted friends, who was desperate to find someone special. Theirs is a story of obsession, madness, and tragedy. Because once Stefan fell head over heels for Ana, he was under her control-and he didn't have a chance in hell.

      Possessed: The Infamous Texas Stiletto Murder by Kathryn Casey is a 2016 William Morrow publication. This lady was nuts! While I like to think I know a little about True Crime, more and more often these days, I realize there are just too many cases to keep up with them all. Although I live in Texas, I only vaguely recall this story- mainly because of the murder weapon- that Stiletto shoe. For some of the crime might remind you of a scene in ‘Single White Female’ when Jennifer Jason Leigh stabs Steven Webber in the eye with the heel of her stiletto shoe. Naturally, this true crime case drew lots of media attention beyond the Houston or even the state of Texas. Ana Trujillo stabbed Stephan Andersson to death in his Houston condo- claiming self- defense. Yet it was Ana who had a history of violence and was rumored to have dabbled in the black arts. This book details the relationship between Stephan and Ana, how it became increasingly volatile, with Stephan unable to free himself from her, despite desperately wishing to do so. The author did a thorough job- starting with personal biographies for both Stephan and Ana and builds the tension as the horrifying saga deepens. It was hard to imagine two more different personalities- Ana was so aggressive, where Stephan was mild- mannered and gentle. Ana controlled him, manipulated him and despite his misery he seemed to lack the courage to purge her from his life for good. Casey follows the usual True Crime format, but her writing style gives readers a vivid depiction of the events that transpired, an up close and personal view of the people involved, and a front row seat for Ana’s trial. This is one crazy case! I think Ana is exactly where she should be! Recommend to readers of true crime! 4.5 stars

      I read this awesome book in one setting, I'm a huge fan of Katheryn Casey and this book just pushed me over the top. She's is one of the best true crime writers in the business. Ms. Casey being from the area where the crime was committed gave her an insider's view of some of the key players and the swank settings in which this situation unraveled. I loved the way she downplayed a lot of things that would have almost made this book seem more like a fictional murder mystery instead of the gruesome true crime it was. I believed she captured the true essence of the Ana/Stefan relationship head on. She left no stone unturned that's for sure. I was thrilled to see that a book was being published about this crime. Living in Texas we heard about the "Stilleto" murder and just an overall view of the status of the trial but that was all. We all thought it was just an older man fixated on a younger woman, that ended in tragedy. That was about it. Ms. Casey opened up Ana's Pandora's box of lies and deceitful past and you just couldn't put the book down because you couldn't believe what else she had discovered.This book is a must for true crime fans! I would like to thank William Morrow Publishing for providing me an e-galley for my honest opinion of this book.
