Now a wealthy entrepreneur, Josh wants to divorce Tonya, the mean girl who made Toby's life hell all those years ago. Not long after Toby takes Josh's case, Tonya is found murdered. Josh is the prime suspect. Together with her fortune-teller mom and her pregnant best friend, Toby sets out to clear Josh, whom she still has a guilty crush on. While he seems equally smitten, can Toby trust him? The handsome cop charged with finding Tonya's killer doesn't think so. Since Tonya stayed in touch with everyone from that lousy summer camp, Toby keeps running into ex-campers she'd rather forget. Could one of Tonya's catty friends be her killer?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A South African crime boss institutes divorce proceedings against his wife who defends the action. Later, she is found shot dead in her apartment and the criminal husband charged with her murder. But have the police been too blinkered in their approach and too quick to conclude that the husband’s criminal connections automatically make him the killer? So starts a flying trip to New York by the notorious lawyer, Jack Delaney, to investigate the husband’s mafia connections followed by a trip to a 'Big 5' Game Reserve in South Africa to investigate his criminal connections in the highly illegal, but lucrative, rhino horn and elephant tusk trade. While this shows the husband to be a most unsavoury character, does it make him a wife murderer? Why would the husband have started divorce proceedings and then killed his wife? If murder was on his mind, would it have not been simpler and cleaner for the wife to take a long, long vacation - mafia style? The murder trial starts and after many twists and turns, the evidence presented often leaves the reader to wonder if the husband was the actual killer or if he hired the killer and colluded with him. The 'grande finale' comes during the trial with the unmasking of the murderer.
Download or read book Married To Murder written by Robert Scott and published by Pinnacle Books. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clean Sweep On the morning of December 30, 1978, in Littleton, Colorado, Robert Spangler lured his wife Nancy into the basement with the promise of a "surprise." He then shot her in the head with a .38 handgun. Going upstairs, he shot his teenage children, Susan and David. David was slow in dying, so his father finished him off by smothering him with a pillow. Cover Up Spangler had cunningly framed the crime scene, making it appear that his wife had shot their children and then herself. Now he was free to marry his new love, Sharon Cooper. A former high school athlete, he hiked the Grand Canyon with Sharon, who chronicled the trip in a book dedicated to her "soul mate," Spangler. But their happiness was short-lived. The marriage ended in a costly, messy divorce. Confession In April, 1993, when Spangler's third marriage to 59-year-old aerobics instructor Donna Sundling went sour, he took her hiking in the Grand Canyon and pushed her off a 140-foot drop to her death. In 1994, when ex-wife Sharon committed suicide, Spangler became the focus of intense police scrutiny. Wracked with brain cancer, he told all to investigators in the fall of 2000, detailing his shocking serial saga--the story of a two-time widower. . .and a four-time killer.
Download or read book Marital Separation and Lethal Domestic Violence written by Desmond Ellis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to investigate the effects of participation in separation or divorce proceedings on femicide (murder of a female), femicide-suicide, homicide, and suicide. Because separation is one of the most significant predictors of domestic violence, this book is exclusively devoted to theorizing, researching, and preventing lethal domestic violence or other assaults triggered by marital separation. The authors provide evidence supporting the use of an estrangement-specific risk assessment and estrangement-focused public education to prevent murders and assaults. This information is needed not only by instructors in criminal justice and sociology programs, but by researchers theorizing about or investigating domestic violence. In the world of practitioners, family court judges, divorce mediators, family lawyers, prosecutors involved in bail hearings, shelter staff, and family counselors urgently need this resource. Ellis et al. include discussion questions and chapter objectives to support learners in the classroom or in community-based settings, and instructor support material includes PowerPoint lecture slides, additional teaching and research resources, and a test bank. This text advocates convincingly for prevention of domestic violence, and gives academics and practitioners the tools they need.

Book excerpt: **SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE, "10 BEST HISTORY BOOKS OF 2022"** **AMAZON, "BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH (Nonfiction)"** **APPLE, "BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH"** From a historian and senior editor at Atlas Obscura, a fascinating account of the daring nineteenth-century women who moved to South Dakota to divorce their husbands and start living on their own terms For a woman traveling without her husband in the late nineteenth century, there was only one reason to take the train all the way to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, one sure to garner disapproval from fellow passengers. On the American frontier, the new state offered a tempting freedom often difficult to obtain elsewhere: divorce. With the laxest divorce laws in the country, five railroad lines, and the finest hotel for hundreds of miles, the small city became the unexpected headquarters for unhappy spouses—infamous around the world as The Divorce Colony. These society divorcees put Sioux Falls at the center of a heated national debate over the future of American marriage. As clashes mounted in the country's gossip columns, church halls, courtrooms and even the White House, the women caught in the crosshairs in Sioux Falls geared up for a fight they didn't go looking for, a fight that was the only path to their freedom. In The Divorce Colony, writer and historian April White unveils the incredible social, political, and personal dramas that unfolded in Sioux Falls and reverberated around the country through the stories of four very different women: Maggie De Stuers, a descendent of the influential New York Astors whose divorce captivated the world; Mary Nevins Blaine, a daughter-in-law to a presidential hopeful with a vendetta against her meddling mother-in-law; Blanche Molineux, an aspiring actress escaping a husband she believed to be a murderer; and Flora Bigelow Dodge, a vivacious woman determined, against all odds, to obtain a "dignified" divorce. Entertaining, enlightening, and utterly feminist, The Divorce Colony is a rich, deeply researched tapestry of social history and human drama that reads like a novel. Amidst salacious newspaper headlines, juicy court documents, and high-profile cameos from the era's most well-known players, this story lays bare the journey of the turn-of-the-century socialites who took their lives into their own hands and reshaped the country's attitudes about marriage and divorce.

Book excerpt: Marrying Bart gave Lisa money, position...all the things she'd thought important. But he was controlling and boring. She was trapped. On vacation in Mexico she decided to have a little fun. But the fun caught up with her; now she's being blackmailed. So one problem became two. But a clever and impatient girl like Lisa isn't going to let that stop her. Maybe she can solve both at once. ~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~ ?Sometimes I think you overdo all this worrying about security, Bart,? Lisa Titus told her husband over the breakfast table. They sat on the patio, in the backyard of their house, overlooking the pool. Bart wanted to eat inside, but Lisa insisted on having breakfast where she could enjoy the California sun. He shrugged. ?I am a prominent figure,? he said. "People notice me. They know we have money. Some people are jealous of what we have. It makes sense to be careful. That?s all I?m doing, being careful." She smiled. ?Wouldn?t it be cheaper and more fun just to hire some bodyguards? I?ve seen some on television that are very attractive.? ?Employees are a pain in the ass,? he said. ?I like the idea of a system that won?t quit when you need it most. Besides, it is already installed. So read the brochure carefully. It?s important for you to know how to use it. Have Helen read it too.? ?Our maid? Why do you want the maid to know how your security system works?? ?Our security system. If Helen doesn?t understand it, she might inadvertently disable it when we want it on, or set it off, or panic if it does go off. Also it could be a good thing if she knows how good it is. All the people she knows will hear that we have a state-of-the-art security system. It might keep them from trying to rob us.? ?Good thinking, Bart,? Lisa said. Then she laughed. ?I have this picture of all the servants from the houses on our block getting together over coffee to compile regular reports to the guild of thieves and robbers.? ?It sounds dumb, okay. But word of mouth helps. They hear about a system like this and rob someone else?some family that is less careful.? ?Of course, finding out that we invested in a system like that could also tell them we have things worth stealing.? He looked at her. ?Lisa, they can tell that by looking at the house from the street.? He kissed her cheek perfunctorily. "Study the brochure. It?s part of the house now, whether you like it or not. I have to get to the office. I don?t know what time I?ll be home." And then he left. Probably because you don?t know if you can get one of your sexy young interns into bed, she thought. Bored, Lisa flipped through the fancy brochure as she finished her breakfast. This thing has enough security for NATO headquarters, she thought as she read through the list of features. A lot of it was just technical nonsense. How could a person learn anything from it? What on earth were you supposed to make of something called audio deterrent? She imagined the system shouting, ?No! Put that back, you bad robber!? She shook her head and poured a cup of coffee. ÿ?Mrs. Titus, there is a man at the front door who says he needs to see you on a personal matter.? Liz Titus looked up from her coffee. ?Does this man have a name, Helen?? Helen shrugged and held out an envelope. ?He wouldn?t give it. He said this would give you a reason to see him.? Curious, she opened the envelope and saw a receipt stapled to the outside. ?Hotel Caribe,? it said. She noted the date sourly and then nodded to the maid. "Ask him to wait in the parlor and offer him coffee. It seems right to be civilized. Tell him I will be with him shortly." ?Yes, ma?am.?
