Deadly American Beauty: Beautiful Bride, Dark Secrets, Deadly Love

Written by John Glatt

Narrated by Shaun Grindell

Greg DeVillers was a top biotech executive, and Kristen Rossum was embarking on a career in toxicology at the San Diego Medical Examiner's office. They seemed to be happily married, living the American dream. But only months shy of their second anniversary, Kristen found her handsome husband dead from a drug overdose-his corpse sprinkled with rose petals. By his side was their wedding photo. The scene was reminiscent of American Beauty, one of Kristen's favorite movies. Authorities deemed it a suicide.

Until they discovered that the rare poison found in Greg's body was the same poison missing from Kristen's office. Until they discovered the truth about Kristen's lurid affair, about her own long-time drug addiction, and about the personal and professional secrets she would kill to keep hidden-secrets that would ultimately expose the beautiful blonde as the deadly beauty she really was . . . a Deadly American Beauty.

Reviews for Deadly American Beauty

[salkatzos · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I’m a fan of true crime novels especially on audio. I find some overburdened with factual details, and some trying to hard to be a work of art with overly descriptive passages; this book was balanced and well written. The narrator did an amazing job, which further made for easy and interesting listening

[Lisa Molloy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A 5-star audiobook, by both the author and the reader. An incredible series of very tragic events, executed by a mega-self-absorbed prima donna. This is a book you will not forget, the book that makes you realize that our perceptions of people we know, may very well be totally, tragically incorrect.
