About this audiobook
National bestselling and award-winning author M. William Phelps—star of Investigation Discovery’s smash-hit TV series Dark Minds—updates his classic work of true crime in which psychological drama, passion, and murder collide in a powerful audiobook with special appeal to women listeners.
In the postcard-pretty town of Pleasant Valley, New York, Susan Fassett left choir practice at her church—and was gunned down in the parking lot. An entire town reeled in shock. Susan was a beloved wife and friend without a known enemy. Only two people knew the disturbing truth—Susan had been living a double life. Behind the picture-perfect façade of small-town America lay a hidden world of sado-masochism, lesbian affairs, betrayal, and adultery. In this updated true-crime classic, M. William Phelps brings new dimension to shocking real-life drama of secrets, lies, and murder.
