À propos de cet audio
In Washington Township, Michigan, on Valentine's Day, 2007, Stephen Grant filed a missing persons report on his beloved wife, Tara. The stay-at-home father of two was beside himself with despair. Why would Tara abandon him and their family? Was she involved with another man?
Stephen's frantic, emotional search for Tara made national headlines, and the case was featured on Dateline among other television shows and news outlets. But key elements in Stephen's story still weren't adding up: Why did he wait five days to go to police? What was the nature of his relationship with his children's beautiful, 19-year-old babysitter? Why did Stephen have cuts on his hands, and random bruises? Then, the police made a gruesome discovery.
Parts of Tara Grant's body started turning up around the woods near their home. The truth was finally coming to light...and, after a two-day manhunt, Stephen admitted to having killed Tara―first strangling her, then cutting her body into 14 pieces before burying them. This is the shocking true story about a bitter, cheating husband whose crimes were revealed by the Blood in the Snow.

Incongruous statements, allegations of infidelity, evidentiary findings that "don't quite fit".. this case illustrates the value of having intuitive police officials pursuing the truth.
Henderson is fairly longwinded - an aggressive Editor could have cut 4 hours from this audiobook without disrupting it - but his temporally linear narrative documents and leads readers/listeners through the case beautifully.
As to presentation: The "average" reading by Paul Michael Garcia doesn't hurt the book, but Blackstone Audio Inc. could certainly have cast this project better.
Don't get me wrong.. Garcia is an excellent reader (the audiobook is a satisfying listen) - he just didn't blow me away. Any other professional reader could have been equally effective.
In toto, I very much enjoyed this reasonably straightforward illustrative exposé about a killer spouse. I rate 'Blood In The Snow' worthy of 9 stars out of 10. I feel fortunate to have gotten it as a 'Plus' selection.. because it would be worth a Credit for genre fans should Audible ask for one.
[Note: Henderson's intermittent "amusing" quips & commentary during the description of horrific events (e.g. dismembering a body) admirably lighten the mood somewhat.. but get to be inappropriate, intrusive, and annoying when they're overdone]
