Shattered

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

De: Kathryn Casey

Narrado por: Coleen Marlo

In Creekstone, Texas, a small, quiet suburb of Houston, football was king and David Temple was a prince. A former high school and college gridiron-star-turned-coach, he had a fairy-tale marriage to bright, vivacious Belinda Lucas, a teacher at the local high school who was so warm and popular her colleagues called her "The Sunshine Girl".

The fairy tale ended savagely on January 11, 1999, when Belinda's lifeless body was discovered in a closet. Her skull had been shattered by a shotgun blast at close range. She was eight months pregnant.

There was no damning evidence directly linking the brutal murder to husband David, who stood by emotionless and dry-eyed as police searched the crime scene. But a dogged eight-year investigation would expose a shocking history of cruelty and domination, infidelity and rage - ultimately resulting in an epic courtroom battle for the ages - as the scandalous truth was revealed about love betrayed and innocent lives shattered.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Kathryn Casey is one of the best true crime writers today." (Ann Rule)

Devastating

Belinda and Brenda were colleagues in the show cattle and FFA circle from high school, and we attended SFASU at the same time. I remember David from his glory football days at SFA (he always had that jerk vibe about him). I have known what happened to Belinda, but until this book, I had no idea the details or how horrible it really was. Two precious lives were taken that day, and David is right where he belongs. Thank you, Kathryn Casey, for writing such a detailed and compelling account of this East Texas tragedy.

vocals are robotic at times

I know audiobooks aren't easy to record. There were some chapters that sounded robotic vocally.

Heart breaking tale
