Beneath a veneer of respectability and religion, Mary Winkler's soul festered as she struggled to be obedient and loving to her husband and her God. Her suppressed anguish exploded in a shotgun blast that took the life of her husband, preacher Matthew Winkler.
Mary packed up her three young daughters and fled to the beach, leaving an endless trail of questions in her wake. Would anyone ever make sense of the tragedy in Selmer, Tennessee?

I loved the performer's voice. It was so easy to listen to. I've actually returned audio books to the library because I cannot stand listening to the person reading!!! This one is really good and I'd like to listen to more of her books. I will search for them.Extremely pleasant voice to listen to. Good story

I love a 'long listen' and in truth non of Diane Fanning's books fall into my preferred category however what we have to chose from is 'choice'.
So many crime writers do tend to break that cardinal rule and make so many assumptions in so much that they try and tie all those lose ends together neatly in the last few pages. Well before you get started on this little diamond I want you to brace yourself as THAT is not going to happen here. I was left asking several questions and was wondering whether our judicial system had performed well. I am also concerned for the children in this case. One wonders whether there is a mental health issue here and are the children going to inherit it or are they going to be injured either physically or psychologically by it?
All in all a terrific read.
80% Facts plus 20% Author's opinion. Perfect!

the story takes off from 1st chapter and kind of too the point unless this case is something out great interest to you. I found the amount of info as satisfactory. cause Mary hasn't made anything cheers. and I think I would have been annoyed with too more or less info.
she starts with the chronology after the crime and then the other half is covering her trail. while I found the narrative a bit sluggish to start I feel completely opposite even hearing to trail coverage. it was good and. she explained thing well and focused on what I think was well done.
but too long not to short.. wanna see Mary.. watch her on SNAPPED.. the tv show. it was one of top crazy episodes
just about the perfect amount of information

Any additional comments?
I had read available stories that were in the news about this when it happened and like a lot of people I suppose, I had the uncomfortable feeling there had to be more to it than what I was reading. I couldnt understand how she got off so easy.Actually, this question still bothers me slightly.
The author did a very good job, by my standards, though. She presented what information she was able to gather in her research and, what is important to me, she did not try to FILL IN where there was no satisfactory documentation on why things happened as they did. It left me still wanting to know, but realizing that in real life, we usually have to accept that some questions will remain, for extreme events such as a murder.
In any case, I WAS much more satisfied after listening to the book than before, that most of my questions were answered. Most of them were tracked right back to the wife who shot her husband - some might say she was half batty but not batty enough to be guilty of capital murder, others might say she was an example of battered wife syndrome or PTSD. To me it looked like some of both. But this woman was not easy to figure out, not by a long shot. I do not think she was just coy, or pulled a fast one, I think she was damaged goods due to one cause or the other.
Quite a fascinating study, however. For you true-crime lovers, go ahead, you will like it.
Satisfies your curiosity about this murder.

The narrator's voice was pretty annoying too when she read the conversations.
I will try another Diane Fanning...hoping it has more information that what the average joe can read in the newspaper or crimelibrary
I definitely wouldn't recommend this one though.
Lots of filler used
