In 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found at the bottom of the stairs in her home in a pool of blood. Her husband claimed they were hanging out by the pool, she went inside to do something on the computer, and when he came in about an hour later, he found her like that. The evidence in this book seems particularly biased towards the prosecution. While I do not believe that his account of the events are entirely accurate, I do not believe the book should have been absolutely biased towards one side or another. The research was great, and presented a lot of evidence that I was not aware of from the things I had watched about this case previously. I think that the author did a decent job in that respect, I was just annoyed with the bias. I think that it is very suspicious that someone else he was close with died in a very similar manner and he wound up with guardianship of those children. This is a very bizarre story.

A few notes: He published several novels prior to her death, and has subsequently published one with his account of what happened regarding her death. There is also a documentary on Netflix (I think) about this that I watched not long ago. It seemed to lean toward his innocence than this book did. This case was also featured on Forensic Files, where this book title was mentioned. You can check those out if you are interested in this case as well. Also, I would suggest running far away from anyone named Peterson because they are always trying to murder wives.
