HE USED A HAND SAW . . . On Valentine's Day 2007, in a suburb of Detroit, stay-at-home dad Stephen Grant filed a missing person's report with the local sheriff. Grant's wife Tara had disappeared five days earlier. He'd been searching for her ever since - or so he claimed. HE STARTED WITH HER HANDS . . . Over the next two weeks, police questioned Grant. He lashed out, accusing them of harassment, pleading his innocence in television interviews. He swore that his wife, a successful businesswoman, had abandoned him and their children. Then the police made a gruesome discovery . . . HE KEPT HER TORSO IN THE GARAGE. After his arrest, Grant confessed to strangling his wife and cutting her body into fourteen pieces while the children slept. Detroit News reporter George Hunter interviewed Grant several times, learning shocking details of his relationship with Tara. This chilling account goes inside the twisted mind of a husband who snapped - and a marriage that ended in bloody carnage. INCLUDES 16 PAGES OF SHOCKING PHOTOS… (more)

No current Talk conversations about this book.

Finished this afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised by this book.

First of all I should say I knew nothing about this story, except that I knew that this case had been in the headlines a lot. So everything I read was new and maybe that was one of the reasons I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the writing, the interviews, the transcripts of kelly and Stephen's conversations in jail. I think my least favorite part was the last part. The trial part because we knew everything already but i did find it still interesting to see what the defense and prosecutions would say and do.

I admit that I was so fascinated by Stephen grant's eyes that I googled it. First I could not find anything that made me feel the writers were right, about him having "bug eyes eyes and saucer like eyes, but then I discovered these 2 photo's and I swallowed and said with tiny voice "okay they were right"





Why I am going to give it 4 stars and not 5 is because even after all the news that surrounded this case, I still did not get to know the victim. Was she having an affair? No I do not think that makes a difference but I would like to know what she was like.
What was she like? Did she not have any friends? It appeared to me,she was a very distant person.

Anyway great book! I would buy another book by this author! 4.5 stars ( )
