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.

Very good but too much repetitive information

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

Love lies

Great story. But felt you have heard the same story in half the time. Eight hours unneeded.

Tragedy and forebearance

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.

Struggled to finish

This book was way too long and very repetitive. The narration was terrible. It pained me to hear the narrator attempt a French accent and do it so badly. 2 stars.

Ok BUT:

Far,far too long. The author didn’t have to put much hard work or research in to produce this. Most of the narrative was probably taken from Court transcripts.

Seriously long winded

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

So repetitive, badly written, and very biased

So repetitive, badly written, and very biased. I wish I'd read the reviews before listening!
