About this listen

In August 2015, Limerick man Jason Corbett was murdered by his wife, Molly Martens, and her father, ex-FBI agent Tom Martens, in the bedroom of their luxury North Carolina home. He had been savagely beaten to death with a baseball bat and brick while his children slept nearby. For his sister, Tracey Corbett-Lynch, and the rest of his family in Ireland, it was just the beginning of the nightmare that would involve a custody battle for his orphaned children, an online hate campaign by Molly Martens, and, ultimately, the gripping trial that would lead to her conviction, alongside her father, for his murder.

My Brother Jason is the story of how this seemingly all-American girl from a picture-perfect family targeted the widowed Jason Corbett, becoming nanny to his children in a desperate bid to create the family and security she craved, thus setting in motion a series of events that would lead to Jason’s brutal killing by the woman he had once loved.

Here, for the first time, Tracey Corbett-Lynch tells her family's side of the story in a book that contains shocking revelations about Molly Marten's history of strange behavior and the lengths she was willing to go to in order to get custody of Jason's children.

This is a great book but the narration was really bad. It was very hard to listen to. The fake Irish accent was unbearable as was the overdramatised manner in the way the whole book was narrated. I was going to give up soon after I started it but the story was very interesting and well written.

Very well written book but only to read.

The story was well written. It is clear that the Corbett family in Ireland and Jason, are tremendously close and very supportive. Poor Jason’s loss of his wife and raising their two young children was, as all lone parents know, incredibly hard. In hindsight, I believe that the family no wished that the children had been sent to an excellent private nursery instead of sourcing a nanny. I understand why this choice was made as it was made in the best interest of the children. Being in their home was certainly calmer, comforting, reassuring, familiar and more suitable for the children to be after the traumatic loss of their mother. They had no idea that their nanny had some obvious serious mental health issues who would be protected by her family at all costs. Lying about the birth of Sarah at Molly’s local book club, should have acted as a warning as all the red flags waved in her presence like a road full of brightly illuminated red flags following her, re-lighting as all the other lies that continuously tripped off her tongue. She, as a compulsive liar, had obviously become a consumate deceiver who actually believed her lies to be the truth. A true delusional fantasist. Her father being a retired FBI agent, made prosecuting Molly harder as the old boys club obviously had a huge influence, from many thematic groups - the boys in blue, police brethren etc etc, undoubtedly subconsciously interviewing would not be without problems. Molly’s father was very experienced with their questioning methods inside and out, therefore playing a clever yet vindictive cat and mouse inquiry sessions. Police going against one of their own is not the norm, nor welcome and the pair of murderers, slid through many a net and many processes to ultimately be treated very leniently. Molly’s family enjoy each others company and live their lives as they all did. Having watched the three part documentary too, this is not the case for Jason’s two children who are still and expectedly traumatised and depressed by the loss of both their parents. I do believe, the author and her partner and children have done a sterling job at raising them both, although the documentary made it clear that, having been adopted by their aunt and uncle, brought to the fore; their tears, nightmares, depression; thus their cousins/brothers are also extremely upset and probably more so than their other cousins who do not share the same 24/7 amount of time with the bereft children’s loss. Returning to the process, followed by court case/s, I personally feel that the sentencing was far too lenient, embarrassingly so. Sounds like a great book? It is. Why the low stars at the top of the review? Whilst it is written with love and great sadness the book is a really good, factual, sadly the narrator truly spoils the story. Her voice is very affected. Her Irish accent, which is not necessary, does not sound like an Irish accent at all times. When she deepens her voice for ‘masculine’ quotes, I’m not sure what accent it becomes at all. There seems to be almost Eastern European and South Asian sub continent’s accents (Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi), her pronunciation is made worse by the whispered sentences which feels totally inappropriate as it gives a ‘sexy’ sound to the narration. the different accents and volumes do not follow a regular pattern either. I therefore found myself what her voice would sound like along the way, my fault entirely but driven by the way the story is read. In my opinion I truly think this is one of the worse narrators I have heard and her voice detracted from the content. Indeed, I probably would not buy another book if I realise the narrator is reading again. I hate being so negative but it has affected listening. If it could be narrated again, it would be five stars all the way. Indeed, the narrator could possibly read it again but without the different accents and different volumes, almost ASMR in places, please.

A well written, referenced, loving story but ….

Really found the narration off putting. The weird accents and pronunciations was just strange and I couldn’t finish it.

Story is very good. I had already been following it since it happened.

Genuinely struggled to finish what is an important story due to the horrendous narration. For reasons known only to herself, the narrator attempts an Irish accent that is both wildly distracting and horrendously inaccurate. It takes so much away from the book itself, which is a tale of a grieving sister trying to honour and get justice for her much missed brother. Only finished because my heart went out to the family for their loss.

Good book ruined by awful narration

Absolutely appalling narration. I have never heard such terrible accents and irritating pauses before. Please in the future do not allow this narrator to even read the back of a cornflake packet let alone an important book about such a great tragedy.

Worst narrator
