Till Murder Do Us Part

Today's Nonfiction post is on Till Murder Do Us Part by James Patterson. It is 336 pages long and is published by  Grand Central Publishing. The cover is a picture underwater with a body flowing above the title. The intended reader is someone who likes true crime. There is mild foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this book. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book-
Til Murder Do Us Part: Kathi Spiars can't believe she's found such a good man to marry as Stephen Marcum. Twelve years later, she starts to suspect that he isn't who he says he is. As she digs into his past, she doesn't realize that learning the truth will lead to a lifetime of fear and hiding. (with Andrew Bourelle)

Ramp Up to Murder : Brandi McClain, a young beautiful teenager, moves to California from Arizona, to model and live with her new boyfriend, a professional skateboarder. But her perfect life is about to turn on its head. In San Diego, investigators hunt for a missing girl. It’s a case that seems to be plagued by dead ends. But once the truth emerges, it’s more haunting than they could have imagined. (with Max DiLallo) 

Review- Another good true crime read from Patterson. The two stories in this book are more close to home any the others from Patterson. They deal with domestic violence and Patterson was able to interview the survivors and get what happened from them directly. At times this volume was scary as the people in it were very scary themselves. But Patterson doesn't overwhelm the reader with the horror of a lover turning dangerous, he just tells the story and moves on.  If you have read the other true crime books by Patterson then I would recommend this one too or if you are just looking for a quick true crime read then you should like this.

I give this book a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
