About this audiobook
In the weeks that followed Mary's death, the grief-stricken family received startling news from the medical examiner: Mary had been deliberately poisoned with colchicine. Another bombshell followed when the local sheriff's office received a claim that Adam Yoder had poisoned his mother. But Adam was not the only person of interest in the case.
Pretty and popular Kaitlyn Conley, Adam's ex-girlfriend, worked at the Yoders' clinic. She'd even been at Mary's bedside during those last terrible hours. Still, some spoke of her talent for manipulation and a history of bizarre, rage-fueled behavior against anyone who dared to reject her. Had Kaitlyn and Adam conspired to kill Mary Yoder, or was the killer someone else entirely?
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed it! Listened pretty much straight through while working around the house. This author has a great storytelling style!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fascinating story, well told. After you read it take a look at the Dateline episode about! It’s on the NBC website.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very interesting case, although it does slag a bit in the beginning, it does pick up about halfway through. It is a bit annoying hearing about an extremely codependent relationship that Adam could and should have left so many times but did not and so his mom ended up dead. I do feel like the author left some important things out of the book like the motive to even commit this horrible crime. It is overall however an intriguing story of a toxic relationship taken to the extreme.
