Jeanne Dominico was found dead inside her home on August 6, 2003. Her fiancée, Chris, had notified police, but took an unusually long time to answer the door when they arrived. The investigation determined that Jeanne had been stabbed and slashed with a broken steak knife found in the kitchen, with around 50 injuries total. Suspects included the ex-husband of Jeanne, as well as her current fiancée, Chris. The ex-husband had been known to be physically abusive to Jeanne. The former couple shared two children together, Charlie and Nicole, who were also interviewed by police. This case took a turn that I was not expecting, which I will not relate as to not spoil the book for anyone wanting to read it.

This case was featured on the show Wicked Attraction, (Season 3, Episode 10), if anyone is a fan of that show. The author is a decent true crime writer and always does a good job of conveying well researched facts of the case, while also writing about the people involved in a way that makes you feel like you get to know them. I did not find the book to be salacious in nature. I was pleased with this book, and am looking forward to finishing off the few I have left by this author. I guess I have to pick another house book to read now.
