She Is Evil!

Madness and Murder in Memphis

De: Judith A. Yates

Narrado por: Lee Ann Howlett

"That woman is evil. She is evil!"

Ejaz Ahmad was handsome, charismatic, and a self-made businessman. He arrived in the United States from Pakistan determined to fulfill his mother's dying wish: to come to America, complete his education, and make his mark in the world. Settling in Memphis, Tennessee, Ejaz became owner of several businesses, father to a handsome boy, and a devout Muslim. The only thing missing in his life was a wife, someone special to protect, honor, and love.

Leah Ward was a pretty girl, but a prison parolee with a history of drug charges, petty crime, and a questionable past. She led a flotsam life, drifting from town to city to state. When she was introduced to Ejaz Ahmad, she believed she had found the ultimate answer: a place to live, someone to take care of her, and money to spend. But what began idyllic soon became abusive and then dangerous for Ejaz. His friends and family warned him. And in May of 2003, Ejaz paid the ultimate price when family members found his mutilated body in a shed.

She is Evil is a story of trust, abuse, religion, and murder. Of a kind man who tried to help a troubled woman and became the victim of abuse and, eventually, a heinous murder.

Exceptionally sad

Such a sad story of what sounds like a lovely man destroyed by a sociopathic woman who, as such creatures do, left a trail of devastation behind everywhere she went. Well told, but left me with a heavy heart.

She IS Evil

This was a surprisingly well done production. I had never heard of the crime but I was captivated by the story.

Judith Yates did an excellent job of narrating the before, during and after of the murder which many books do not; they dwell too long on the during and for get the after but this was very well balanced. I also like when a female reader reads a female author's work. That, to me, lends an air of authenticity. Both Judith Yates and Lee Ann Howlett did an excellent.

This is an engaging tale.

A compelling true crime tale

'She Is Evil!' was the first book by Criminologist and True Crime Author Judith A. Yates that I have tried, and it will not be my last. In this work, Yates shares the tragic story of Ejaz Ahmad, who hooks with Leah Ward, a troubled young woman with mental problems with an addiction to drugs. Unfortunately for Ahmad, who tried to help Ward in any way he could, but ultimately ended up being savagely killed him, stripping his only son of a loving father. The author deserves a five star review based on her research and gripping story telling. Lee Ann Howlett also provides top-notch narration.

A Psychotic Woman .....................

I tried thinking of other titles for this book, and it always came down to "She is evil".. A sick and heartless woman who ended up destroying the life of many. SAD and disturbing ....................

The author did a great job! Very detailed! Events and characters are well described, though I would have prefer the story told in a different order...

Lee Ann did a amazing job narrating each of the characters! Definitely caught up in the story! :)

Top-Notch True Crime

'She Is Evil!' is a true story that I won't soon forget. A man, who by all accounts was a wonderful and giving man much loved by his community, falls victim to a master manipulator and ends up dead by her hands. This story is at once fascinating, heartbreaking and infuriating. Yates weaves the tale expertly with just the right amount of detail and Howlett delivers a great voice over performance that kept me engaged throughout. I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone who enjoys a true crime story - this is one of the good ones.
