À propos de cet audio
True-crime master Ron Franscell tells the grisly story of Alice and Gerald Uden, a loving couple who murdered at least four people and lived happily ever after - while cops tried for decades to piece together a petrifying tale of murder and secrets.
In 1974, Alice, a desperate young mother in a gritty Wyoming boomtown, kills her husband and dumps his body where it will never be found, then slips away and starts a new life. But when her new man's ex-wife and two kids start demanding more of him, Alice delivers an ultimatum: fix the problem or lose her forever. With Alice's help, Gerald fixes the problem in an extraordinarily ghastly way...and they live happily ever after...that is, until 2013, almost 40 years later, when somebody finds a dead man's skeleton in a place where Alice thought he'd never be found.
This pause-resister by best-selling true-crime author Ron Franscell revisits a shocking cold case that was finally solved just when the murderers thought they'd never be caught.

People are strange
I found this book a little long at times. Its story line was good and gave a good ending.

Terrible narrator
The story is well researched and written but it’s painful to listen to the narrators poor reading ability...he sounds like a grade schooler just learning to read.

An Enjoyable.. but Average.. True Crime Tale
After browsing Reader Reviews, I was worried about the narration.. but it's fine. In fact, everything about this audiobook is "fine". Nothing is spectacular here - or even very noteworthy - but it's a decent book. Ron Franscell puts together an interesting documentary outlining a typically nasty crime with typical outcomes. The perpetrators act outrageously, Law Enforcement makes mistakes, and innocent people suffer - it's a True Crime book, after all. I actually wonder what led Franscell to write about this particular crime (other than the dynamics between the murderers - killer couples inspiring each other are pretty rare).
It must be noted that the writing is Hit & Miss: Franscell does quality research (police records, interviews, court documents) and strikes an excellent balance between documentation and dramatization.. but the occasional interjected expletive or colloquiallism (e.g. "Bumping Uglies") is strikingly dissonant (Franscell is obviously well-read and has a very good vocabulary but peppers the text with slang and poorly-placed four-letter words for some reason).
As mentioned, the narration was actually not bad. There are occasional words that Chris Lutkin reads painfully pho-ne-tic-a-lly, but overall I didn’t note any startling issues with diction. He also has problems with maintaining a consistent pace, but he reads clearly, emotively, and with interest. His narration is squarely "adequate".
This is a fair-to-middling effort from all perspectives, and I would rate this book 5.5 out of 10 stars overall. Maybe True Crime fans could spend the Credit better elsewhere, but they aren't wasting it on this book.
