About this listen

A suburban housewife's picture-perfect life is shattered in this riveting true crime book from the author of Evil Next Door.

When Nancy Cooper moved from Canada to Cary, North Carolina, with her new husband Brad, their future was bright. Living in one of the most picturesque towns in the United States, the couple mingled with neighbors, attended parties, and raised two daughters.

Then, on July 14, 2008, the façade came crashing down when Nancy's strangled body was found in a storm pond.

Nancy's husband claimed that she had gone for a jog and never come back. But as the police investigation deepened, and as Brad was brought to trial for murdering his wife, a complex web of affairs and lies was uncovered involving multiple residents of Cary's idyllic neighborhoods. At the heart of it stood the Coopers' soured marriage, Nancy's threat to leave with the children, and her own cold-blooded murder. It would take a mountain of damning evidence before justice was served.

Great story. Could have saved two hours on the story by not repeating themselves all the time.

Very good but too much repetitive information

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Well written and narrated, troubling events of the murder of a young mother. The harrowing ordeal her family had to go through for justice was unbelievable. A tragic, but interesting account.

Tragedy and forebearance

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great story. But felt you have heard the same story in half the time. Eight hours unneeded.

Loved this book, how a brave family lived through the awful murder of their daughter

Well read and researched

There are so many repetitions that you could probably cut out 1/3 of this book. It’s a hard listen, not because of the story but because of the narration. The narrator sounds like she’s auditioning for the part of all of the various characters. I found a google search much more interesting

Seriously long winded
