This was a crazy true crime story about a completely narcissistic woman, Sharon Fuller Nelson Harrelson, who had two husbands murdered by her lover. It was well researched, and the author spoke to a lot of people who knew her. But I felt like the same information about Sharon was presented over and over again. I also felt like it ended very abruptly. But it was an interesting book if you like true crime. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC. ( ) Sharon is married to a Seventh Day Adventist pastor. But that does not stop her from flaunting her goods. She struts around town in short-shorts and flirts with every man she sees. Before long, her husband has lost his job and they have to move to Colorado. This is where their marriage falls completely apart. Sharon has set her eyes on an optometrist and she is not to be stopped. There is a lot that occurs in this lady’s life and IF she doesn’t like it, she gets rid of it and moves on to the next. It just amazes me the hold on the men this woman had. She was a master manipulator. And since she got away with it once, keep trying! She definitely lived in the moment. She did not expect any consequences to her actions. It was all about her and her WANTS! (Not needs…WANTS!) The narrator, Karen Peakes, is excellent. She is very matter of fact. Which to me, is the best way to be reading a true crime. Need a a good true crime thriller…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
