About this audiobook
Death seemed to be part of Garrett Wilson's life. Both of his parents had died by the time he was in his early twenties. So friends shrugged when sadly, an infant daughter, and then a son, succumbed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Six years later, after he divorced his wife, Missy, and married another woman, his former spouse became convinced that their child's passing was anything but natural.
Was it cold-blooded murder by Garrett, or a quest for revenge by his ex-wife? Missy's own investigation that led to Garrett Wilson's arrest and eventual trial will keep the reader guessing until the final pages. Havill takes us through each stage of this intricate and chilling story all the way to the courtroom, where the jury's stunning verdict is given.
Acclaimed author Adrian Havill conducted nineteen in-person interviews with the accused both before and after his trial. He had full access to both the defense and prosecution teams. The result is an unprecedented look at a murder investigation and an edge-of-the-seat real-life medical thriller that stretches from Maryland to Texas and Florida.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I only gave it a 3 stars because the story was so drawn out and mundane. I manage to listen to the end. No not recommend unless you have lots of time to waste.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was very well written so much so that I cringed when listening to the duplicity perpetrated by Wilson.The reading was well performed and expressive that you were reluctant to stop listening.
