This book covers the murder of Dr. Darryl Sutorius, a prominent heart surgeon in the Cincinnati area. Dr. Sutorius was found dead by his wife in the basement of their home. Investigators were initially unsure of the cause of death, as it appeared to be a self inflicted gunshot wound at first glance. As the investigation unfolded, they discovered that his wife had been using the name Dante, though her real name was Della Faye, and that she had purchased the gun that killed her husband. Gunshot residue tests also concluded that she is the one who had fired the gun. Interestingly, the more they uncovered about her, the crazier the story gets. I won't spoil the book for anyone who wants to read it, but I will say that she was a SHADY character that lied every time she took a breath.

This case was featured on an episode of Forensic Files, and I got this book when I realized it was mentioned in the episode. If you are a Forensic Files fan, you should make sure you pick up the books that are mentioned. It really gives a deeper dive into the cases mentioned. I have to admit that I am not a super big fan of Aphrodite Jones, however this book was decent. The research was done quite well, and really added a lot to what I learned from the show. I thought that this woman was a sketchy one when I watched the show, but this book goes into far greater detail about her lies and shenanagins than the show did. It wasn't a very long book either, so if you are looking for something in the 300-ish page range, here you go. I also suggest always looking up the people that you read about in true crime books for updates on their current incarceration/parole status, because a lot of these cases are pretty old. Sometimes you learn some interesting things after the fact.
