Poison Candy: The Murderous Madam; Inside Dalia Dippolito's Plot to Kill

Nope.

Um... not written it? Or perhaps written a book on another case?

She was terrible. I honestly couldn't tell whether she was a computer or not. She seemingly paused every couple words like a text-to-voice thing and the inflection on the different voices was very, very slight. You could barely notice it so all you got, in the end, is this really terrible reader who pauses every other word or so. It was really frustrating.I know this book didn't have much to begin with but this narrator just made everything that much worse. I've actually put her name as the first on my 'never listen to again' list, which is new to me.

Disappointment in that this was made into a book and boredom.

The problem here is that there isn't enough for a book so everything is drawn out. You basically have a woman who tried to get her hubby killed (and failed) then was tricked into making the deal with a fake hit man (aka a detective.) That's all you have here. There's nothing else. This should not have been made into a book. Perhaps a 'Who the Bleep did I marry' 30 minute episode, but certainly not a book.<br/><br/>On top of that, I found the writers to simply be obnoxious. The authors kept belittling the wife in pretty every way when she was in a scene. I do believe that she is guilty, obviously. They have her on tape but it just grew really, really old really quick. Like all her tears were 'fake' or the authors would say something like 'and who'd honestly marry an escort?!' and it just made me want to chuck the book.Also, I felt that the authors tried to white knight the hubby. They were continuously trying to make excuses for his behavior. He was a petty criminal who failed at setting up a ponzi scheme. He owe almost 200k in fines and he hasn't paid anything while he's driving around in a porsche. Am I supposed to feel bad for him? I honestly don't feel bad. I honestly felt relieved that the wife wasn't pregnant because this hubby was just so freakin' stupid that it felt imperative to get his genes out of the pool, so to speak.<br/><br/>In short: everyone of the players were bad people and so were the authors (who, silly me, I'd expected to act like professionals.) I would skip this.

I liked the message, but felt that this book was far to long.

The fact that the protagonist was apparently so blind to his wife's bs was interesting. On the other hand this made the book redundant and it drew out a pretty open and shut case.

The narrators pace was fine, but her voice was obnoxious.

This is a 48 hours or dateline special and I enjoyed the hour segment much better.

Odd title for this book.

The only thing that would have made this audio book better is if the narrator spoke with a lisp when speaking as Dalia

I tried 3 times to listen to this book but the narration is so awful. I felt the narrator was a robot. I can not finish it but know I have to since I used a whole credit to purchase this book.
