Summary
In October 2014, after Chris Regan failed to arrive at his new job, his ex-girlfriend filed a missing-person report. Something was off. It was not like Chris, a devoted father, avid hiker, and all-around great guy, not to show up. When local Michigan police chief Laura Frizzo learned Chris was having an affair with Kelly Cochran, a married coworker, suspicion fell on her husband, Jason. After a search warrant on their house revealed several suspicious items, the Cochrans abruptly moved to Indiana. As questions swirled around the case, the whereabouts of Chris Regan remained unknown.
Sixteen months later Jason Cochran died from a drug overdose. Friends and family rallied around the grieving and distraught Kelly. But when the coroner ruled Jason's death a homicide, no one reacted more bizarrely than his widow. For months detectives tried to put Kelly's past into focus, but the truth was buried under a patchwork of lies, contradictions, and brutally horrific revelations. As Kelly Cochran, a Purdue graduate and psychology major, played "catch me if you can", a mesmerizing story emerged that rivals today's best-selling fiction in its drama and fascination.

A Return to Form
After M William Phelps last two book which I didn't particularly like, infact one of them I didn't even finish.
I am pleased to say this one sits alongside some of his best books in my opinion & I have read all of his true crime.
This story gripped me from beginning to end & I didn't want to turn it off. I recommend this book to lovers of true crime.

Too many repetitious quotes
This book suffered because I listened to it immediately after Fatal Charm, which in my opinion got the balance between evidence and the police investigation just right, also helped by a brilliant narrator. By contrast, this narrator lost flow because of having to indicate the beginning and end of quotes throughout the narrative. I can see that the author wanted to demonstrate what a lengthy, unrewarding and tedious job it was for Chief Rizzo and her eventual Team to wade through such, and so many, lies and deceptions, and from that point of view he achieved his aim. However, as with More than Evil, which I listened to after but reviewed first, less is more when thr quotes contain so much similar content.

Not to his usual standard
Too much dialogue and not enough details and facts building up to act. Would have enjoyed it more knowing about the characters before hand. First time I’ve found fault with this author. I love his investigative skills. He’s the best crime writer around. Not sure if the narrator flowed too well although his different character voices were good.

A bit repetitive & salacious
I found the author tended to reiterate direct quotes from the people involved multiple times - so much that I thought the track had skipped on several occasions. For that reason, I felt there was a lot of filler, which was tedious.
Also disappointing that the author seemed to really want to make certain sexual aspects (like bisexuality) seem deviant - as though that added to the bad character of the murderers. I found that to be unnecessary.
As far as the delivery, it was decent, although due to the content I felt myself getting irritated with the delivery.

Such a drag
This just felt like it went on forever. Cut it down by a few hours and it might have been better. And please stop having male narrators trying to do female “character” voices. Believe me, I’m not a rampant feminist, it just sounds so pathetic.
