Publisher's Summary
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.

Best true crime book in years
I am a lover of true crime books. Being a retired police officer, in both patrol and detective work, I guess it never leaves you. It was well paced, heart wrenching, and at the same time, sarcastic and entertaining. This is the first book by this author I have read (listened to)and it will not be the last. A good book can be ruined by a poor narrator, this was not the case here. Narration was excellent.

Interesting Story
I usually listen to around 6 hour stories, something I can finish during my 8 hrs day at work, but I took a chance on this one at 11+. There definitely was some repetition of facts that wasn't needed. The were some unanswered questions, for example, did they test that stain they noticed? Or where the au pair mentioned she saw him cleaning? Regardless, had no trouble getting to the end of it. The narrator was excellent, the story very interesting.

Difficult to reach the end...not very captivating.
I have read and actively studied true crime for upward of 30 years. I found this story itself to drag on. Strangely, it just didn't deliver the suspense that many writers can. It was just "okay". Not entirely intrigued by the narrator either In my experience, he was just not properly suited to the reading of a crime story. Quite FLAT all around.

Over-written
It's a true story so the plot is determined. We know at the beginning who the villain is. And it seemed to me that to fill out the book, the writer focused on irrelevant details of peoples' backgrounds. And there were whole chapters devoted to the innocence and value of the faultless victim. I did finish it so I give it a 'pretty good'.
