Özet

The astronaut crime that shocked the world

Lisa Nowak had driven 900 miles from Houston to Orlando to intercept and confront her romantic rival in an airport parking lot - allegedly using diapers on the trip so she wouldn't have to stop. Nowak had been dating astronaut William "Billy" Oefelein when she learned that Oefelein was seeing a new girlfriend - US Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman. The "astronaut love triangle" scandal quickly made headlines. The world watched as Nowak was dismissed from NASA, pleaded guilty to a felony, and received an "other than honorable" military discharge.

An award-winning investigative reporter who covered Nowak's criminal case, Kimberly Moore offers behind-the-scenes insights into Nowak's childhood, her rigorous training, and her mission to space. Moore ventures inside the mind of the detective who studied the actions Nowak took that fateful February night. She includes never-before-told details of Nowak's psychiatric diagnosis, taking a serious look at how someone so accomplished could spiral into mental illness to the point of possible attempted murder.

Narrator virtually unintelligible, “breathy”” and swallowing her words. Truly awful. I gave up listening Who chooses these narrators???

Terrible narration.

The usual and expected dose of real crime, anti-intellectualism, poor grasp of history and biased assessment bordering on the psychotic. There are far too many untruths and historical errors - as this forms the entertaining superstructure the author uses to weld onto the core story of a NASA employee gone vogue - an infrastructure that would merely involve a highly manipulative woman sat on a chair running rings round a Detective who is well out of his depth. If the misrepresentation of the Space Race - coupled with the description of a real crime floats your boat - then you are in for the a treat. This may be the first true crime novel where the author is as dishonest as the criminal being described.
