A Killer Among Us

De: Charles Bosworth

Narrado por: Kevin Pierce

On March 16, 1992, Elizabeth DeCaro, a 28 year-old mother of four, was found dead in her own home, murdered execution-style with two bullets to the head. Her husband, Rick, was immediately a suspect, having previously struck her "accidentally" with the family van after taking out a $100,000 life insurance policy on her. A Killer Among Us presents the true shocking story of Elizabeth's family and their search for justice against the man who continued to play father to the children whose mother he had killed.

This real-life case has fascinating legal elements - three trials, a death penalty conviction, and a dramatic reversal in federal court - and has received extensive local and national coverage.

Charles Bosworth Jr. is the author of the New York Times best sellers Previous Victims and Silent Witness.

Riveting True Crime

Fascinating from beginning to end, very well written, great narration, and a close look at "pure evil". Rick DeCaro, an obvious psychopath, ruins countless lives to satisfy his selfish needs. Thankfully, the Van Isaghems banded together to obtain justice. Melanie was my hero~what a strong woman~she (and the entire family) refused to give up and spent four years fighting for Liz. The four children made me so sad. DeCaro certainly deserved his sentence!

Audiobook provided in exchange for an honest review.

Hauntingly good!

This was so well written. There we're so many detail in this case and Bosworth lays it out masterfully. Without a doubt there is a slant toward Elizabeth's family but that's who he interviewed. This is highly detailed and covers three trials.

Good book

I really like books about real events. very good story. You can Google after finishing the book to learn more about the subject and learn of events that have occurred after the book was written.

True crime stranger than fiction

True story with twists and turns as strange as fiction. Well written and narrated, this tale is captivating and a very enjoyable listen, though it's subject matter is extremely dark.

Excellent book!

This is a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat! Very compelling story. Well delivered.

very very long!

The book would have been enjoyable, if it was shorter. Its too long without any new content. Its about the trial of a murder case. But the witnesses testimonies have been repeated so many times that by the end I could finish the sentences before them.
Have not read books with trails and court cases before, might be I just picked the wrong one.

Killer

Excellent book. I was taken back by family handling in this matter of death and trail.
