Shattered: The True Story of a Mother's Love, a Husband's Betrayal, and a Cold-Blooded Texas Murder

for true crime lovers, i recommend it.

not on the edge of my seat at all. somewhat upset at what my fellow human beings are capable of, though.

the narrator was good in that she did not detract or distract from the book. i think that is the most important quality, where the narrator is not the author.

what irritated and confused me about this book is just a couple features. one, in the beginning, it spends what feels like forever, explaining what an absolute ANGEL, a person PERFECT in every way, the victim was. i mean, she had no flaws. she was the true love in everyone's heart, the light in everyone's eyes. none of them could hardly LIVE without her. okay, okay. that could have been said in far fewer chapters, for my taste. i got pretty bored and angry when that line went on and on, and on.the other feature that annoyed me was how the story kept switching back and forth from how the crime and aftermath proceeded, to the background of the characters growing up, their relatives, etc. i had trouble knowing which world i was in, as i would listen and then put it away, and then listen again, etc. it was beginning to drive me nuts. after i was done with the book, i couldnt explain exactly how the story unfolded, i was so confused by all the switching back and forth. there could have been a much clearer way to handle this.

YES! the story was really well told, interesting, and if you like true crime it is a no brainer--this book should be in your library.

that it had a conclusion. some books are written before the whole story plays out and the end of the story is not there. this book was written, researched, and read well. i got a snapshot of what it was like to be belinda temple.

the book was very sad but it had closure.

i am not sure. but she read well. reading an audiobook must be murder (excuse the pun).

several reactions, anger at david, sadness for belinda and her family, satisfaction that david was tried in a court of law and exposed for who he was--a worm.

i felt rage at the way david had a double standard. one for him and one for everyone else.

i will read this again and it is a welcome addition to my growing library.

This was an interesting and captivating story, a good listen for what it is. True crime stories tend to have a sameness and this was true of this book,as well. But it was fascinating despite it's predictability.

Mystery, Love triangle

Great information about the victim and the killer

I enjoyed listening to her voice, It was soothing, but not monotone, as I was driving home, or catching the bus to work and kept me interested in the story

It did make me sad for the victim throughout the book because of the abusive marriage

Great read. Highly recommend

I believe this is probably a well-written and interesting story, so I give the 3 stars. However, the narrator was so annoying I finally stopped listening. Authors, are you listening?

The author does a great job of telling the story and the narration was good as well. Couldn't stop listening!

Absolutely!

Brought it to life. Good Narrator.

Ann Rule the queen of true crime is correct, Kathryn Casey was very impressive in this book.

Very interesting story that had me checking different sites on the net for more detail. Well researched with very little doubt about the author's thoughts on who was responsible.
