    About this audiobook

    A LIFE TAKEN
    Jeanne Dominico’s fiancé found her body on her kitchen floor. More than forty stab wounds and blows to her head with a blunt instrument had cut her life short. What monster had struck in the heart of a peaceful New England town?

    A TRUST BETRAYED
    Jeanne was a hard-working single mother. Nicole, her fourteen-year-old daughter was on the honor-roll and head over heels in love—with an eighteen-year-old man she’d known only through the Internet. Once the lovers met in person, Jeanne’s motherly instincts sensed trouble. If only she’d known that the life in danger was her own.

    IN THE NAME OF LOVE
    With a history of psychological trouble and family misfortune, Billy Sullivan’s obsessive and controlling power over Nicole contributed to the brutal slaying of her mother. But it was Nicole’s stunning confession and guilty plea that led to Billy’s sensational trial, where a sordid tale of love, loss, betrayal, and murder finally took a cold-blooded killer offline—and on line for justice.

    “Phelps is a first-rate investigator.” —Dr. Michael M. Baden

      I really enjoy the writing of M. Phelps. Especially I enjoyed the beginning of the story. After a while though I was getting a bit bored. although that is not the right word. I felt very emphatic towards the friends of Jeanne. I even visited her memorial site so Mister Phelps managed to make her a real person to me. I think what the problem was is that this book is really about 4 people only. Chris, Jeanne Nicole and Billy so even though it is an incredible sad story and as a single mom myself of a teenager (18 now) and I can very much relate, I think more than 400 pages was a bit too much.

      I still do not understand how Nicole turned out to be like this and looking at the memorial page there are no pictures of her. There are pictures of Jeanne and her son. I also would have liked to learn a bit more about him. Guess he did not want to cooperate?.

      Jeanne Dominico was brutally beaten and stabbed to death, her injuries showed she fought with her murderer. She was a single mother of two trying to make a life for her children and protect them the best she could. Billy Sullivan was a troubled young man that Jeanne’s daughter met over the internet, she was head-over-heels in love. Billy was obsessive and controlling, Jeanne worried about Nicole’s sliding schoolwork, she thought that Billy would hurt Nicole, but that is not what happened. The murder shocked the community, first in its brutality and second in who committed it, and who conspired to commit it.Another top-notch true crime account from Phelps. With interviews and summary of the police interviews and court transcripts, you get a complete picture of what happened, he takes you step by step through the crime, the after effects, how each person came to be where they were and how it all ended.
