Publisher's summary
In August of 2018, in a wealthy Denver suburb, a shocked and horrified nation learned that Christopher Lee Watts had murdered his pregnant wife, their two little girls and their unborn son.
But shock was soon replaced by puzzlement. Why?
And the surprising answer is that a standard Anadarko Petroleum employee policy led, unintentionally of course, to the murders.
By early 2018, the Watts family finances were beyond dire again after a recent shattering bankruptcy, then Chris Watts’ employer, Anardarko Petroleum, offered him a life insurance policy on the lives of his wife, Shan’ann, and his very young daughters, Bella and CeCe, for a total of $450,000.
Wouldn’t that get him out of a spot?
After that, Shan’ann’s days were numbered, preferably via a perceived oxycontin overdose.
Well, Chris Watts tried that twice and failed. Then he decided to go for the jackpot. Shan’ann would ‘murder’ the girls, and would then disappear. Nobody was going to find her body in the Cervi 19 oil storage tanks. He would collect on the girls immediately and then get the rest when Shan’ann was legally declared dead.
It was an excellent plan, to be carried out by a complete moron.
On the night of Sunday August 12, 2018, two things went catastrophically wrong, leaving Chris Watts to dispose of three bodies, not one, and facing a nail-biting time crunch.
Then a friend of Shan’ann’s called in the cops on the morning of Monday August 13, and it was game over.
But, for some, that’s when the party started.

Story
Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

He used to read bedtime stories to me. It was just a silly crush, but now we’re speeding across the country together. I’ve always been the dorky kid sister. Kai is eleven years older than me, ripped, rugged, and so intense every girl in town wants him, but he’s never had eyes for anyone. So there’s no way he would look twice at me. The last time he was here, I was seventeen. Now, at nineteen, he looks at me differently. At first, I think his broody, intense energy is anger, but then he offers to take me on a trip. I think he’s just trying to be nice. I don’t guess he’s hiding ...

Based on conversations with Lady Lucan ... A British aristocrat murders his children’s nanny, mistaking her in the dark for his wife, and disappears, never to be seen again. For forty years the British press will look for him. There will be ‘sightings’, there will be leads, but the police will eventually close the case when he is officially declared dead. For many, the whole affair was the best and most addictive of mysteries, based on a tragedy, and before that on a turbulent marriage between a breathtakingly handsome, elegant and noble gambler and an inept, and possibly insane, ...

Pennywise???
I like the fact that she kept the Cindy and Sandy letters a part of the book and the the flow of the book is pretty good overall however I HATE the fact that the Author refers to Chris Watts as Pennywise the Clown and its extremely immature and almost comes off as comical and this isn’t a comical case. My biggest issue is the implication that perhaps the children were Sexually abused by Chris and there is absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever so I feel as an Author that’s extremely irresponsible to throw accusations out there that as far as we know are baseless and there are parts of this book where it would be literally impossible for her to know these things in detail! For example she talks about a conversation that takes place between Sandy and Shanann in private and she says Shannan’s family didn’t cooperate in this book so how would she know these things? She wouldn’t! There is a lot of bias in this book and some of the language sounds like a petulant teenager wrote this it sure would be nice if someone would just write a true and accurate account of this case and how they arrived where they did! It doesn’t do the victims any justice at all if you canonize someone after they’re gone telling the truth and victim shaming are two different things and when telling the story the way most people cover this case is Shanann was an Angel and never did or said anything wrong and Chris was always evil and just killed his wife! Anyone with any sense knows that just isn’t realistic! She was a flawed human like the rest of us and when you’re looking at this case from a mental health position it benefits no one to make it seem like she was a saint and he was the devil! Last but not least CINDY AND RONNIE WATTS killed no one! They didn’t get along with their daughter in law! Cindy didn’t like Shannan and vice versa and it’s perfectly normal for that to occur! They are not bad people they too are victims! All in all it was ok just a lot of inaccuracies and unverified claims

Excellent! Information Never Before Heard
If you get past the AI voice it’s an excellent book! I love true crime and this writer tells morbid details of what took place that night. It’s so many have left out. This writer really gives a whole new meaning to the disturbing ax committed by Chris Watts. You must listen until the end otherwise you are missing some of the best parts of this piece.the parts that truly set this title apart from most others who take a whimsical lighthearted approach.

Love the Take
I have followed this case and wanted to see if there was information I may have missed. I love the angle from which it is written. Eventhough I knew alot of the information, I was not bored or chored to hear it again. Thank you for sacrificing your time and life to give Shannan Watts, Niko, Bella, and Ce Ce a voice to last into the future.

We will never know what truly happened that dreadful night. A night that the world will never forget. This book just piggybacks off of this horrific story, yet opens up new theories that were originally unknown. May their souls rest in paradise ~

AI TERRIBLE
Should never ever write another book. It may have not been so bad if not narrated by AI, but would still be awful. Freaking “Pennywise”, really? Understand the dude is horrid but that was just really weird. Like it was SO bad I had to listen to the whole book. Like a horrible car crash that you couldn’t help but watch. I would worry about my grammar in typing this for anything else but in this case, NOPE . Obviously this author isn’t concerned about it. Lord have mercy

Just Awful
First of all, this book is narrated by AI, so it sounds like the telephone voice from back in the 80s that told the time & temperature. Not pleasant to listen to for 9+ hours. Not only was the voice monotone & not human, but many things were not pronounced correctly.
Secondly, the murderer in this sad true crime book was not called by name, but rather was, throughout the entirety of the book, referred to by the name of a Stephen King character. Hopefully for the author Stephen King is as nice of a guy as I have always heard, because I can't imagine people are just allowed to do that.
Finally, I have to think a lot of the content in this book is just pulled out of the imagination of the author because there are situations and conversations that she could not possibly have been privy to. You might as well just read some Reddit accounts on this case because the credibility appears to be the same.

Glad it’s free
While there were a few good points in this book, overall, it’s a pretty bad read. It’s poorly written, repetitive and frankly, quite rude at times. No one is canonizing Shanann, but their dynamics aren’t really up for discussion imo. Also, based on discovery documents, so much incorrect info in this book as well. The automated voice is lazy. As a matter of fact, this whole book is lazy.
