Summary

On any Sunday morning in the Florida Redlands, Dee Casteel might have served you pancakes at the IHOP.

She was a hard-working, cheerful waitress, one of the nicest people you'd ever want to know. She was also a three-bottle-a-day alcoholic, hopelessly in love with the IHOP's manager, Allen Bryant. Bryant wanted his live-in lover, IHOP owner Art Venecia, dead. And Dee Casteel helped him to arrange it.

After Venecia's murder, Dee and Bryant moved into his house, forged checks, spent his money, and embezzled from the IHOP to buy gifts for Bryant's boyfriends. But there was an even more gruesome killing to come.

Without Mercy is an engrossing, bizarre true story that traces the twisted path to a loathsome crime. But it is also the story of middle-class citizens gone wrong, of an almost-perfect murder, the traumas of alcoholism, and a legal system that can be deadly in itself. Dee Casteel was an ordinary woman - who now stands convicted of one of the most cold-blooded crimes of this century.

Comical

What’s amazing is the fact they got away with the murders for so long! The story is farcical, bumbling murderers, alcoholics, gay men, Cuban criminals, pancakes and a vengeful cat! Makes for an interesting story. It’s well written and well narrated. P.s I think she knew exactly what she was doing.

Interesting book

Well written and as usual excellent narration by Kevin Pierce. However, unlike the author who clearly had sympathy for Dee, I did not. She had multiple opportunities to change the course of events especially in regards to the mother. Her actions there were absolutely abhorrent. I wish he had provided an update in regards to her children. I sincerely hope they were able to escape from the wreckage she created

Narrator Kevin Pierce is awesome! Five stars !!

I loved the book from the beginning to the end. The first chapter sets the tone and at once I knew this will be an interetinf book. The narrator Kevin Pierce made the book to come alive. He was excellent and I hope to hear him narrate more audio books.

Well narrated, personalised

The writer at times veers toward second person; it's rare and insightful to hear a story from the perspective of what might have taken place in the victim's mind as they were attacked. Good length, empathetic yet objective. Overall, solidly done
