The dark double life of Ellen Boehm, the mother who murdered her two sons - and nearly killed her daughter
Ellen Boehm, a single mom from St. Louis, Missouri, appeared devoted to her children. But in reality, she was unequipped for motherhood, financially strapped, and desperate. Within a year of each other, her sons, ages two and four, died mysteriously, and Boehm's eight-year-old daughter then suffered a near-fatal mishap when a hair dryer fell into the girl's bath. While neighbors wondered how Boehm remained so calm through it all, Det. Sgt. Joseph Burgoon of St. Louis Homicide had darker suspicions.
Burgoon soon unraveled a labyrinth of deception, greed, and obsession that revealed a cold-blooded killer whose get-rich-quick scheme came at the cost of her children's lives. Boehm had taken out insurance policies on her children with six different companies totaling nearly $100,000. Using police reports, case documents, and photos, journalist John Coston recreates the events that led to one mother's unspeakable acts of filicide - and a cop's relentless pursuit of the truth.

The other thing which dragged it down was narration. The narrator read with no tone or inflection in many parts of the book. He was robotic, sounding like GPS directions.
Interesting story which needed more editing

The story is interesting, but the book is filled with unnecessary details, wild fatphobia, and a boring narrator. This could have been a lot shorter or written differently. I began to lose interest and sped the playback up - something I should have done sooner.
Don’t waste your time on this one.
Glad I didn’t pay for this one

ultimate selfishness

Other than the glaring bias & not relevant to the story of the murderer being fat, it was very thorough and interesting. The woman was obsessed with Big Time Wrestling (what we call WWE these days!) and that in and of itself is a trip. Oh, and being fat makes you fantasize about another existence...that was another weird fat person "problem" he interjected.
I do recommend the book. It's not a well-known story & it's a doozy. Just be prepared about the fat shaming & some old, dumb stereotypes about fat people.
The narration was fine but a bit robotic. When he was speaking in first person, saying direct quotes of speakers, he went full robot. That was a bit...eh, not great.
Crazy story!
