Submerged

Ryan Widmer, His Drowned Bride and the Justice System

De: Janice Hisle

Narrado por: Janice Hisle, Mike Landis

A young bride drowns in her bathtub. Her husband of four months is accused of murder. What happened in their tiny suburban bathroom - and why - was never resolved.

Based on exclusive new information, Submerged, a compelling true crime drama, exposes hidden angles of a case that captivated and divided an ordinary American community, tore apart two families, and tested the criminal justice system.

Compelled by conscience and curiosity, former Cincinnati Enquirer reporter Janice (Morse) Hisle - who covered the saga of Ryan and Sarah Widmer from the start - returns 10 years later to dig deep to tell the untold story: dozens of interviews, 6,000 pages of trial transcripts, and previously unrevealed records such as:

• Ryan’s first written statement about Sarah’s death
• Attorneys’ notes and trial-preparation documents
• Ryan’s personal journal, notes, and correspondence
• More than a thousand pages of police notes and reports

Submerged will draw you into the depths of a stranger-than-fiction story that you will ponder long after listening to the final word.

Listen To Feel The Story

Love audio books, love the audio of Submerged. It's not often a listening reader has the opportunity to hear the author tell his/her story, Janice gives an outstanding performance communicating the nuances of the Ryan Widmer story, piecing together the who, what, how, when and why Sarah drowned followed by the trials and tribulations of Ryan's legal battle.

Good Novel But...

This true crime novel was good but the narration left something to be desired. The repetitive use of "quote, unquote" was tiring and almost made me not finish the book. However, the story itself was quite good.

Narrator is TERRIBLE - but good book.

everything good except narrator. She is terrible and should not be allowed to do this ever again. way to overdramatic - and in the wrong areas.

OMG! QUOTE, UNQUOTE ~ DRAMA

I'm not really sure if the story was any good or not because it's difficult to separate from the constant "quote, unquote" language of the reading. This reader is obviously used to reading bedtime stories to children rather than reading a serious murder story. The dramatic reading was so distracting. It almost sounded ridiculous. It might have been good with a different narrator. Ugh

intrigued till the end

Brilliant job of presenting facts, taking me along the journey as if I was there.
