About this listen

From a New York Times - bestselling journalist: The story of the murder of a California attorney at the hands of the lethally cunning wife he never doubted.

A wealthy and well-connected legal ace and the proud owner of a champion show horse, Larry McNabney had every reason to love his life. But when he disappeared in September 2001, his wife, Elisa, claimed he joined a cult.

When Larry's body was found in a shallow grave three months later, Elisa was already gone. In a red convertible Jaguar, her brown hair dyed blond, Mrs. McNabney was speeding toward a new life in Florida - and a brand new identity.

Who was Elisa McNabney? Beautiful, seductive, and ruthless, she had thirty-eight aliases and a rap sheet a mile long. Carlton Smith, coauthor of the true crime classic The Search for the Green River Killer, reveals one shocking surprise after another in this harrowing tale of broken vows and deadly betrayal.

The story was good. Lots of twists. Narrative was boring. Too much detail in chapters.

Reasonable story

Narrated well, kept interested by the various twists and turns. Good story.
think it is a true story also from over the pond

Worth a listen.

Full of very unsympathetic characters especially the victim and main perpetrator… I don’t think i would have wanted to spend time with either.
Pleased to move on to another book.

Another story of stupidity and greed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Not the best narrator, extremely monotone, but fine. The story itself is not the most interesting. Lots of money fraud talk. A fine book, but a fairly boring listen for 80% of it.

Bit boring but not the worst.
