Publisher's Summary
A loving father and his new wife set out to pick up his kids for a scheduled weekend visit-but never suspected they were walking into a death trap. A handwritten note instructed Alan and Terra Bates to enter the back door of his ex-wife's Alabama home. A day later their charred bodies were found hundreds of miles away, wrapped in blankets, in a burned-out car's trunk on a desolate Georgia road. At Jessica McCord's house, law enforcement officials found windows covered in blankets, a cache of weapons and ammunition, carpets torn up, new tile on the floors, and the couch missing. Then they learned about the nasty divorce and bitter custody battle that had landed Jessica in jail. Along with her new police officer husband, Jessica became the prime suspect in this brutal double murder.

Solid Genre Entry
This book is probably too long - an effective Editor could have cut ⅓ and left a similar quality documentary - but Investigative Journalist and True Crime (Television and Podcast) mainstay M. William Phelps offers an undeniably well-researched and capably delivered exposé. In this one, Phelps explores the luring and murder of Fine Arts/Theater Professional Alan Bates (and his new wife) by manipulative Alabama SAHM Jessica McCord (and her new husband) - in the midst of a heated custody battle. The player backgrounds, investigation, and trial are all described nicely, but I personally didn't find the crime circumstances all that captivating. The poorly-chosen subject matter left my mind wandering annoyingly frequently (Why did Phelps decide to tell *this* story?)
As to presentation: Reader Kevin Foley does his level best to elevate the book - and turns in a praiseworthy (if imperfect) performance - but is limited by uninspired text & dialogue. The "above average" narration effort is somewhat wasted.
Altogether, 'Death Trap' merits 6 stars out of 10. The audiobook is well worth your time as a 'Plus' option - being a fine distraction for any True Crime junkie - but spend your Credit on something else if they ask for one.
