Cherry Walker was a devoted, trusting, uncommonly innocent young woman who loved caring for a neighbor's little boy. But when she was asked to testify in court against his abusive mother, Cherry never got the chance. She couldn't lie if her life depended on it - and it did. Cherry's body was found on the side of a Texas road, after being doused with lighter fluid and set aflame.

Attractive, manipulative, and violent, mother of four Kim Cargill had a wealth of dirty secrets she'd do anything to keep hidden. This in-depth account by best-selling investigative journalist M. William Phelps takes you inside Cargill's shocking trial and into the mind of one of the most conniving female psychopaths in recent history.

Overall, the book was okay. More drawn out and repetitive than neccesary to tell the story. The narrator has an annoying technique for letting the listener know it's quoted material; he makes his voice go higher, It works to alert the listener to the fact that it's a quote, but it became so annoying to me, I was cringing,dreading the next quote. Beyond that -- and maybe this was just annoying to me, personally -- he is a good narrator. Book was okay.

I’m really hoping Me. Yen hasn’t been narrating audio books for a long time. His performance almost made me stop listening. The way he would pause and then put such inflection on a quote, almost made this True Crime story comical. Example, Cherry said (long pause) “I DON’T want to go eat”. He does this all throughout the entire book. It’s terrible.

Poor performance

Too long and drawn out, there are frequent repetition of various details as if the author was trying to meet a higher word count. I typically enjoy Phelps’ books but this one really dragged. As most others have said, the narrator’s voice inflections changing during direct quotes was highly annoying and almost unbearable, but other than that one thing I really enjoyed this narrator. Overall an average book.

Boring, Repetitive Telling of a Horrific Case

The fascinating story of a dangerous woman and her trail of victims including her children. The trail of abuse and her methods of torturing her victims are ruthless. The crimes she escaped responsibility for over the years boggle the mind. Even worse, she was a nurse. She hid under the banner of a "caregiver". Great writing and narration. Remarkable telling of events. I couldn't put the book down.
