My Review

Another very intriguing collection of stories. In this book, I would say...beware who you get involved with. The public persona is different from the private one. When these two sides clash and indiscretions are threatened to be exposed, is when bad things happen. 

I was not familiar with these stories. Although, a bunch involved stabbing, which is a more personal crime. While I found all of the stories interesting, there were a handful that really captivated my attention. They are: 

Capano Affair

Anne got involved with the wrong man, Thomas Capano.

Injustice

Eliza and Fernandes

Border Patrol

Grizelda and Anthony

The Taliesin Tragedy

Martha and Frank Lloyd Wright affair but it was one of Frank's employees, Julian that dealt the deadly attack on Martha. 

To Cover Up a Murder

Linda and Richard

Beneath the Surface

Tina and Gabe

There were many families torn apart and some young children that even lost their lives. Even if you think you are in love with someone, if they are already in a relationship, please don't get involved.
