Read by the author.

In one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road—and the results of that investigation, still unfolding in real time, will astound you.

Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In the aftermath of Bryan Kohberger's request to withdraw his guilty plea, there are more questions than ever before.

In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho—and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.

Broken Plea prophetically challenges that assumption.

Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.

This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn’t end scrutiny but invites it?

Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens a case that never should have closed as it did—and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

The information was presented with great taste

He definitely has presented a lot of thoughts about investigations and how this could affect future investigations

Good one

Top notch narration and well written. Many facts from unsealed documents that were news to me. I’d like a follow up book going into unanswered issues like the green jacket.

Beyond broken

Thank you for shedding some light on an unspeakable tragedy. I have always maintained that this could not have been a one man show and now I count one more victim. Unbelievable to me that this young man pled guilty when the overwhelming evidence is contradictory to that fact. Thought provoking and troubling- this is a great account of all the evidence not just what was released to the public. A must read!

Fact based non opinion read

This book isn’t what you may think it is, it does not pick a side, it affirms the enter of plea. It focuses on & details interviews, police reports, forensic’s and expert reports. It poses a lot of interesting questions, especially about a second car, among other things! If you like fact based non opinion reads, this is for you!

Makes you think!

This book really makes you think about what happened that night in Moscow Idaho. What stinks is there are still so many unanswered questions. It is well written and well read.
