 This book took a deep look into the case of Tracey Roberts, a mother of three kids, and estranged wife to a wealthy businessman. Her first marriage was to a doctor, whom she shot at during at argument. After their divorce, she accused him of sexual abuse towards their child. She moved on to another doctor, who she tried to swindle out of money, subsequently ruining that relationship. She finally married another man, who was into business. They had two children together before the relationship went south. In 2001, Tracey was living in a home in Iowa with her children. She dialed emergency services to report that she had shot an intruder. Turns out, there were a lot of connections between them, which I won't get into so that I don't spoil the book for anyone wishing to read it.

I think that M. William Phelps did a good job researching this case. The facts were chronological. They were presented in a way that was accurate and readable. This woman was certainly a piece of work. I think a first degree murder charge was very accurate in this case. If you are interested in this book, it is currently free on Audible Plus, and also free on Kindle Unlimited right now.

This book was very Dateline like. It took place in NW Iowa which max it “fun” to read. An interesting read about a crazy woman. A little long in places but still kept my attention.
