About this audiobook

Accident, Suicide . . . or Murder?

On November 6, 2000, paramedics answered a call to find Kristin Rossum sobbing. Her husband, Greg de Villers, wasn't breathing, and she claimed he had overdosed on drugs after learning that she was leaving him. But family and friends weren't buying Kristin's story-particularly the idea that Greg would take his own life.

American Beauty

The daughter of a well-to-do California family, Rossum was a brainy blonde beauty whose talent for toxicology had won her a post at the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. But her sweet smile masked a dark side . . .

Toxic Passion

At the time of her husband's death, Rossum was engaged in an illicit affair with her married boss. Investigators found that the Medical Examiner's Office was missing supplies of meth and fentanyl, the narcotic that had killed her husband. With each clue discovered, another piece of Rossum's "good girl" facade fell away. What the world would eventually see was the true face of a murderer-and the hand of justice.

    I would have given it 5 stars but this recording jumps over sections. One minute you are with the investigator, it end mid sentence and you aee somewhere else.

    Looking for a crime book? Maybe you want a book that contains mystery, crime fiction, and suspense? This book is perfect for you. The author skillfully tells the tale of an "American Beauty" who had a great life and proceeded to lose that life on the basis of a ridiculous choice. Kristin Rossum is exactly as described on the back cover of this book. She is the typical California "Golden Girl." She did not want for much of anything, she was pretty and intelligent as well. When she married Greg de Villers, it even appeared as if she had the perfect husband. Greg was not as outspoken or brazen as his wife and appeared to give in to her desires easily. Apparently, Kristin was not satisfied. Her husband is found dead in their bedroom, roses everywhere, and Kristin makes her first mistake. The story takes off from there.This book was very interesting. The author's attention to detail will be appreciated by the reader, the events and environment are easy to picture. The characters, especially the protagonists, are easy to like. Kristin is the character everyone will love to hate. She truly appears to have little to no compassion. There are pictures in this book that will help the reader better picture the crime and the characters involved. This book is recommended to adult readers.

    As I always say, I don't like to tear a book down, just because I did not like it means nothing and I don't like swaying anyone else. That being said, short and sweet here.........I love True Crime, I did not love this book. It started out well then just flopped about 100 pages in. I found the author very repetitive in her writing, retelling details again and again. It took me weeks to get through this. I finally wound up skipping towards the end just to see what the verdict was.
