About this listen

Lacey Spears made international headlines in January 2015, when she was charged with the "depraved mind" murder of her five-year-old son, Garnett. Prosecutors alleged that the 27-year-old mother had poisoned him with high concentrations of salt through his stomach tube.

To the outside world, Lacey had seemed like the perfect mother, regularly posting dramatic updates on her son's harrowing medical problems. But in reality, Lacey was a textbook case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. From the time he was an infant, she deliberately made Garnett sick to elicit sympathy from medical professionals, as well as her hundreds of followers on Facebook and other social media. When a Westchester County jury found her guilty of killing Garnett in April 2015, she was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.

Using Lacey's own never-before-seen Facebook, Twitter, and blog posts, an exclusive prison interview with Lacey herself, as well as interviews with her family and the three police investigators who broke the case, My Sweet Angel gives the definitive account of this extraordinary case that shocked the world.

This story was never going to be an easy listen, as the turn iof events were harrowing. But the author delivers an excellent account, of the lacey spears story. Highly detailed, emotive and captivating. And for me, the narrator was the icing on the cake, Shaun grindell alongside kevin pierce, are wonderful narrators.

This was very hard to listen to but very interesting at the same time to see how Lacy was able to manipulate people in her life. She seemed to live in this Fantasy world and so heart breaking that she put her poor Childs short life in such pain on regular intervals. The fact that she remained in denial that she hurt him is so scary and I hope that she never gets a chance to get near a child ever again as she is a very scary person. She needs to be kept in a Medical facility where she is monitored for the rest of her life as you would not trust her not to hurt another child. Heart breaking is how I would describe this very sad story

this is an incredibly sad story but it needed to be heard. I thought that the narrative was well constructed but it got a little repetitive towards the end. I wasn't wild about the narrator at the beginning but got used to him.

excellent listen

This person reads terribly, pronounces / reads words incorrectly and their sentences flow so poorly that it is very very distracting.

Atrocious narrator
