Readers find this title to be a fascinating insight into a heartbreaking story. It is exceptionally well written, showing the consequences of indulgence and manipulation. However, some readers found the narrator's attempt at local dialect to be poor and unnecessary."
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved the book, so well written. But the narrator is very hard to listen to. The attempt at local dialect is so poor and unnecessary.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fascinating insight into a case that horrified Ireland. It's so sad the Corbett family have been put through yet more grief by the US system that always seems to reward the rich who can afford the best of lawyers and have released Jasons murderers.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a doozy! Exceptionally well written, especially considering that it was written by the sister of the victim, it shows what happens when a bipolar daughter is indulged and spoiled rotten by her parents and ends up unable to cope when she cannot get her own way. Trust me, Molly Martens makes Amber Heard look positively selfless. Sadly, when she becomes au pair to an Irish widow of two young children, her victim proves sadly ill-equipped to deal with Molly's constant and unbelievable manipulations to get what she wants (which seems to be some mythical role as mother without having to answer to anyone else, including the actual parent of the children). The story of their wedding day alone is such a train wreck that it begs the question of whether the term "bridezilla" adequately defines an out of control bride whose ego, need for attention, and ever shifting desires supersedes everything else. It is also a sad book. The victim truly did not deserve what happened to him, nor did his two children deserve to be left orphans. Finally, this book is one of the greatest (and most deserved) acts of revenge I've ever read. Not only does the Martens family get called out, as they should be, the author has an excellent memory for the destructive behavior of their supporters on social media and the impact that the petty behavior of the Martens family had on the victim's children and surviving family members. The evidence is overwhelming that Molly Martens and her father Tom are guilty of cold-blooded murder. I can only hope they do not get granted a new trial. This is truly a cautionary tale of what can happen when someone who is bipolar refuses to take their medication in the proper amounts and, even worse, has their behavior indulged and defended by family members. The arrogance of the Martens family is breathtaking. May they stay behind bars for as long as possible.
