Story
On a November morning in 2015, Christopher Jackson waited for his fiancée, Angila Wilder, to pick him up from work as she always did. But this time, she didn’t show - and Christopher’s calls went unanswered. The police found what looked like a scene from a horror movie at their home. The backdoor kicked in. A bedroom splattered with blood. And a pregnant young woman violently stabbed to death.

In 2015, Mary Yoder returned home from the chiropractic center that she operated with her husband, Bill, complaining that she felt unwell. Mary, health-conscious and vibrant, was suddenly vomiting, sweating, and weak. Doctors in the ER and ICU were baffled as to the cause of her rapidly progressing illness. Her loved ones - including Bill and their children, Adam, Tamryn, and Liana - gathered in shock to say good-bye. In the weeks that followed Mary's death, the grief-stricken family received startling news from the medical examiner: Mary had been deliberately poisoned with colchicine.

Fusing the narrative power of an award-winning novelist and the detailed research of an experienced investigator, author Darcy O'Brien unfolds the story of Dr. John Dale Cavaness, the southern Illinois physician and surgeon charged with the murder of his son Sean in December 1984. Outraged by the arrest of the skilled medical practitioner who selflessly attended to their needs, the people of Little Egypt, as the natives call their region, rose to his defense. But during the subsequent trial, a radically different, disquieting portrait of Dr. Cavaness would emerge.

Pretty, smart, and pampered, Audrey Marie Hilley grew up in a small Alabama town believing she was entitled to the best of everything. But marriage to her high school sweetheart, a cushy secretarial job, and motherhood were not enough to satisfy Marie, and she soon began to act out in troubling ways. Only when her husband, Frank, became sick with a mysterious illness, did it seem that she was ready to put someone else's needs ahead of her own. The truth was far more disturbing.

It was a bleak November in 2012 when Cari Lea Farver vanished from Omaha, Nebraska. Cari, 37, was a devoted mother, reliable employee, and loyal friend - not the type to shirk responsibilities, abandon her son, and run off on an adventure while her dying father took his last breaths. Yet, the many texts from her phone indicated she had done just that. While Cari's boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, and her supervisor were bewildered by her abrupt disappearance, they accepted the texts at face value. Her mother, Nancy Raney, however, was alarmed and reported Cari missing.

On 10th November 1984 Laurie Tanner comes home to his farmhouse in country Victoria and finds Jenny, his wife, dead, her hand wrapped around the barrel of a bolt-action rifle. Her death was viewed as suicide. Deeply puzzled by the mass of anomalies in the case, Robin Bowles, a Melbourne company director, goes looking for answers. How, for instance, could Jenny have shot herself twice in the brain - after shooting both her hands first? What unfolds is a true-life detective story, a bizarre tangle of police bungles, cover-ups and family intrigue.

On a chilly November afternoon in 1998, a tearful 36-year-old man walked into the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department in Eureka, California, and confessed to something horrible. "I hurt some people," he said. Inside his pocket was the ghastly proof of his statement. But there was more to Wayne Adam Ford than the trail of mangled victims he left behind. More, even, than the twisted predator inside, which drove him to increasingly perverse sexual appetites.

Female Psychopath & Her Deceptions
- By Anonymous on 09-15-20
By: Caitlin Rother
Publisher's Summary
The Sunday Times best seller and the definitive story behind the ITV factual drama White House Farm about the horrific killings that took place in 1985.
On 7 August 1985, Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter, Sheila, and her two young sons, Nicholas and Daniel, were discovered shot to death at White House Farm in Essex. The murder weapon was found on Sheila's body; a Bible lay at her side. All the windows and doors of the farmhouse were secure, and the Bambers' son, 24-year-old Jeremy, had alerted police after apparently receiving a phone call from his father, who told him Sheila had 'gone berserk' with the gun. It seemed a straightforward case of murder-suicide, but a dramatic turn of events was to disprove the police's theory. In October 1986, Jeremy Bamber was convicted of killing his entire family in order to inherit his parents' substantial estates. He has always maintained his innocence.
Drawing on interviews and correspondence with many of those closely connected to the events - including Jeremy Bamber - and a wealth of previously unpublished documentation, Carol Ann Lee brings astonishing clarity to a complex and emotive case. She describes the years of rising tension in the family that culminated in the murders, and provides clear insight into the background of each individual and their relationships within the family unit.
Scrupulously fair in its analysis, The Murders at White House Farm is an absorbing portrait of a family, a time and a place and a gripping account of one of Britain's most notorious crimes.

Great book - performance not my taste
This book is full of painstaking detail. A lot of research went into it and is presented to the reader. This is of interest for the true crime aficionado, but doesn’t always make for a great story. The narrator is trying to make all this detail sound more interesting by presenting it in a breathless, eager schoolgirl voice. Unfortunately, this sounds terribly out of place and inadequate. She has a great voice, but this is not the book that she should be presenting.

Longer than I'd anticipated!
I wanted to listen to this book before watching the ITV series. I found it a looong listen, yet actually had to slow down the narrator a little as her voice is quite high and the combination of high and fast made the pace hard going for me . The narration is mostly articulated very well, but now and again, misplaced emphasis on a particular word would throw me off the narrative. Also calling a straw boater a straw boa left me wondering, and not listening. I enjoyed the book nevertheless, but might avoid this narrator for further listens. Although the narrator had a 'nice' voice and tries hard at perfect diction, I didn't feel her voice held the gravitas required for the serious nature of the book.

Lots of information but narration is disjointed.
The author has clearly done her research. There is a lot of information to consider and the author remains impartial, merely quoting others and stating the known facts. There are still many unanswered questions but the evidence points heavily in one direction. It's a real who-done-it and worth listening to just to see whether you agree with the final verdict, having heard all of the witness statements and first hand accounts. Some parts are a bit protracted and the narration is poor with breaks in the middle of sentences and a tendancy to emphasise the wrong parts of words and sentences. An interesting listen.

Fascinating and meticulously researched
The deaths of Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter Sheila and her two young sons on 7th August 1985, sparked a massive police investigation. As the murder weapon was found on her body and all windows and doors appeared to be secure, it seemed reasonable that the Bambers' son, Jeremy, who had alerted police after his father called him in a state of panic, was correct in his assumption that his sister Sheila must have performed an act of murder/suicide. However, certain aspects of the case prompted further investigation and in October 1986, Jeremy Bamber was convicted of killing his family for financial gain. He has always protested his innocence. Using police and court records, witness statements, interviews, and previously unpublished documentation, Carol Ann Lee charts the lead-up to the murders. She demonstrates how tensions in the Bamber family and their wider circle of relatives and friends, created a web of complex and difficult relationships that did nothing to ease the police investigation. With many contentious issues surrounding the case, not least the matter of the silencer on the murder weapon, she tells a story that points firmly to Jeremy Bamber being the killer. Though Bamber continues to proclaim his innocence, he has yet to come up with anything that will prove he was telling the truth. A fascinating and meticulously researched book that will delight readers of true crime.

Awful Narrator
Story was good and well written. Gripping and very detailed. But the narrator was awful. Putting in full stops in middle of sentences. Was similar to listening to an automated voice. Put me off. Other than that, it was a good read/listen.

Detailed and thorough exploration of an awful crime
This book is extremely detailed and painstakingly lays out both the background leading up to the awful events at White House Farm and the aftermath. Some reviewers had complained about off-putting pauses in the narration but I found the narration to be very clear and any pauses are purposely placed to indicate quotes either from written or verbal accounts.

Good content, terrible narration
The narration of this book totally ruined it for me. Really odd intonation, strange pauses and dire accents / direct speech. The content is largely good, although the very full history of June and Nevill’s families felt a bit like padding out. However, the narration is SO bad I actually opted to stop and buy the book to carry on.
