This book is so good so you can not stop listening

I have watched the Interrogation with Stephanie Lazarus and I could really see those psychopathic mind that she had. This story is so good and the narrator is brilliant. Easy to follow the story. Well worth listening to this story

So so sad

I’ve watched many films about this murder
It’s horrendous, not sure if he got the gunshots correct, I thought she shot sherri in the back as she ran to the door then put a pillow on her face to muffle sound and shot twice in her face. Sooo sad that a woman could be so jealous as to shoot an innocent person and never get found out for 30 years and carry on with her cop’ career and get married as if nothing happened!
Can’t believe she slept with rutton after killing his wife! Thank god Sherri fought back and bit her as it would never have been prosecuted . Also complete cover up by police, they knew it was women’s saliva years before they arrested Lazarus
Total bitch should have got death, so sad for family and John

Interesting but could have done with more

This is a well known case but quite well covered. I would have wanted to know what, if any actions were taken against the original investigator and what was discovered about the missing forensic evidence.

"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned."

A true crime story. Nearly a quarter of a century after the brutal slaughter of newly married Sherri Rasmussen in her home in New York, her killer was finally found guilty of murder in the first degree. When the investigation following her death took place, this person had not even been considered by the police despite Sheri' father's appeals that they do so.
A strange and uncomfortable look at police corruption as well as the cold bloodied death of a woman. Short, clearly stated facts, though at times repetitious, read by Paul Christie in a straightforward, unemotional way, this book is a quick read, a free download from the Audible Plus programme.
What a nasty piece of work her cheating husband must have been

Enjoyable

Short, sweet and to the point. It's refreshing to have a story that doesn't waffle and tie the listener up in knots by doubling back, adding new characters which don't seem relevant and mixing up timelines.

Made up perspective

Boring, monotonous narration.
Starting from the perspective of the murder victim, several details are off from what is known about the case. Not horrendous, but certainly unremarkable...

An informative short book

In a very short space of time I have heard details of a murder and how the polive finally brought a killer to justice. This was thorough and hasn't left me feeling cheated of details or confused by it's speed.

Something to get your teeth into . . . .

Usual American true crime caper with a slight twist, though most will see it.
Good narration, and if you're looking for a quick audible blast, this fills the hour and bit very well.
