Summary
On June 9, 2008, the butchered body of Travis Alexander was found in his Mesa, Arizona home. The grisly nature of his death made instant headlines: with twenty-nine knife wounds, his throat slit, and a gunshot to the head, Travis was left to die. The prime suspect in the case was Alexander's ex-girlfriend, the attractive and soft-spoken Jodi Arias.
Though Arias initially said that she was nowhere near the scene of crime, little about this case was as it seemed, and before long she had been caught lying to police. As the investigation progressed, her lies evolved multiple times before finally resting on an appalling claim: she had killed Travis in self-defense.
Along the way, startling details emerged about the Mormon couple's relationship, and soon graphic stories of their lurid sexual encounters and jealousy-driven blowouts revealed a dark side to their life together. These revelations launched a trial filled with sex and deception but also raised substantial questions about Arias' deceit, as people from across the country struggled to understand the bizarre world of Jodi Arias.
Now, award-winning broadcast journalist and bestselling author Jane Velez-Mitchell, a veteran of some of the most storied court cases in recent memory, goes behind the scenes of the trial and into the mind of a killer. Using insider accounts from friends who knew Travis and Jodi, Velez-Mitchell turns her sharply-focused lens on Arias and offers her seasoned perspective on the case's most pressing questions. Separating fact from fiction, she reports on the bizarre and explicit stories that have both shocked and fascinated the American public - from Jodi's romantic history before meeting Travis, to their torrid sex life together, to the complicated role their Mormon faith played in the relationships demise. With unbridled access to the evidence and the case's key players, Velez-Mitchell unearths Jodi's contentious life with those closest to her, examining the paranoid and erratic behavior behind each relationship and illustrating the disturbing pattern of a murderer in the making.
Complete with photos from the case and Jane Velez-Mitchell’s fresh insights on the crime, Exposed takes readers behind closed bedroom doors to uncover the truth behind the secret and sordid life of Jodi Arias.

Biased 'journalism'
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
If you are interested in the story and no other book is available.
If you’ve listened to books by Jane Velez-Mitchell before, how does this one compare?
This is my first one. I really expect more unbiased reporting from a so called 'journalist'.
What three words best describe Elizabeth White’s voice?
A cynical drawl
Could you see Exposed being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
It has already. A dreadful, sensational production about enlightening as this book.
Any additional comments?
A Foreward by 'Nancy Grace' should have told me everything. Her coverage of the trial is appalling. I don't need her opinions on every peice of evidence, very biased opinion, I may add. I am quite capable of coming to my own conclusions. She is constantly pointing out the saintly qualities of the victim and the evilness of the perpetrator, and of the families involved. It is annoying. The interesting parts of such murder cases are the grey areas.To paint everything so black and white is tabloid journalism following a 'perceived' populist
viewpoint, hardly insightful.

Disappointed
Great book, content is brilliant but it’s as if it’s being read by a computer, difficult to listen to! Very annoying.

Demise of the devil
Awesomely written. It was pleasure listening to this book that gave a lot more insight into the mind of someone that cared only about herself. May the bars that hold you remind you constantly of the horrific deed you walked out of when leaving that house.

AWFUL.
If you want any insight into characters in this event, don't waste your time as this woman couldn't give you insight into anyone or anything.
This 'book' is totally one-sided with Velez-Mitchell being her usual hysterical, sensationalist, 'talking-head'. I wouldn't watch the HLN coverage so I must have been ill or desperate when I picked this book - or, maybe, just hopeful.
