    About this audiobook

    In August of 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez shot their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, to death—a cold-blooded act that shocked the nation. Seven years later, the brothers were convicted of murder, and both were sentenced to life in prison without parole. The brothers' first trial started a media frenzy and was filled with lurid details, but these never clearly explained why they killed their parents.

    Now, catch a rare glimpse inside the mind of one of the most notorious murderers in American history. In Lyle's own voice, listeners can hear him as he speaks to Norma Novelli, with whom he corresponded for years. Listen as he divulges to Norma many never-before-shared secrets, and then decide for yourself what caused the Menendez brothers to commit their horrifying crime.

      great job at secretly recording lyle (sarcasm). i will admit that lyle comes across as arrogant but it is clear he was a scared depressed young man using an overconfident facade as a coping mechanism. lyle has been described as “over trusting to a fault” and this proves that.
