    About this audiobook

    She was his second wife — to die. Coming off a failed marriage, a beautiful woman named Toni joined an online dating site hoping to find true and lasting love.

    Harold Henthorn seemed like her dream come true, a handsome man who said he had “[A] heart for others”. Only weeks after meeting, they were wed.

    But Toni's family began noticing Harold's dark side, especially his controlling nature, which Toni didn't seem to mind. Until she met her end at the bottom of a ravine.

    Was he a grieving husband — or a black widower?

    Harold's tearful story of his wife's hiking “accident” just didn't hold up with Toni's family or the police. Then a shocking truth was uncovered: 20 years before, Harold's first wife had also died suspiciously in a remote area with no witnesses.

    Soon, more questions arose: Who was Harold Henthorn — a devoted, grief-stricken husband or a cold, calculating killer? Could authorities find a way to connect his wives' deaths and expose the truth?

      Excellent narration for a chilling account of a monster. Disturbing that men like this exist.
    • 4/5
      I briefly remember following this story as it happened in my home state. Such a tragic loss. It is amazing the lengths that people will go through to gain wealth. As I kept reading this book, the further and further I got the scarier and more intrigued I became with Harold. It was interesting to read how he reacted to both of his wives' deaths (in the moment and afterwards). Example is Harold talking to a family friend and photographer about Toni's death. He was calm and did not shed any tears. This was barely after the fall. Then, Harold had put together a video but all of the photos featured were of Harold only. You have to be cold hearted to push a jeep off a jack and watch as it crushed your wife. The fact that he would not help her and grabbed a dirty plastic bag to put under her head, showed no remorse. Author, Michael Fleeman did a great job telling this story again. True crime readers will thoroughly enjoy reading this book. It was a nice balance from start, middle to end.
