DESCRIPTION:
Charles Bosworth Jr. On March 16, 1992, Elizabeth DeCaro, a 28 year-old mother of four, was found dead in her own home, murdered execution-style with two bullets to the head. A Killer Among Us presents the true shocking story of Elizabeth's family and their search for justice against the man who continued to play father to the children whose mother he had killed. This real-life case has fascinating legal elements - three trials, a death penalty conviction, and a dramatic reversal in federal court - and has received extensive local and national coverage. is the author of the New York Times best sellers Previous Victims and Silent Witness.. Her husband, Rick, was immediately a suspect, having previously struck her "accidentally" with the family van after taking out a $100,000 life insurance policy on her
Great ,but really drawn out. Kindle Customer Juliana Gowens This was a really great story and I'm so glad to see that DeCaro got what was comingsuch a sneaky ,disgusting man. My ONLY problem with this book ,was what many others said in their reviewsmy God ,how many times was it shoved down out throats ,how perfect and loving this family was and how we were beaten over the head with the mother's constant thought about her PERFECT daughter. No disrespect to them ,but it made the story ,really long and drawn out !!. Compelling and interesting story marred by terrible writing and other problems. Jerry Bush I thought for a long time if this should get two or three stars.The writing is pretty bad, bordering on unreadable at times. Over-the-top descriptions (especially in the beginning of the story), an excessive use of commas, typos, and other issues detract from the story. There is no table of contents. The author paints the victim's family so positively that it becomes unbelievable. In addition, there are many details that are related over and over. All of these things take away from a compelling story.And what a story it is! I am. Not worth your time This could have been a decent book, if not for the overdone writing. As other reviewers mention, the book is full of overly flowery and dramatic phrasing, to the point that I got very frustrated and started skipping pages. Lots of typos also detract from the story. I gave up at 35% and removed the book from my device. This is not a book that I would recommend to true crime enthusiasts.
