Histoire
In this powerful true crime memoir, an award-winning identity theft expert tells the shocking story of the duplicity and betrayal that inspired her career and nearly destroyed her family. Axton Betz-Hamilton grew up in small-town Indiana in the early '90s. When she was 11 years old, her parents both had their identities stolen. Their credit ratings were ruined, and they were constantly fighting over money. This was before the age of the Internet, when identity theft became more commonplace, so authorities and banks were clueless and reluctant to help Axton's parents.

Ruth Wariner was the 39th of her father's 42 children. Growing up on a farm in rural Mexico, where authorities turned a blind eye to the practices of her community, Ruth lives in a ramshackle house without indoor plumbing or electricity. At church, preachers teach that God will punish the wicked by destroying the world and that women can ascend to heaven only by entering into polygamous marriages and giving birth to as many children as possible.

At 15, Samra Zafar had big dreams for herself. She was going to go to university, and forge her own path. Then with almost no warning, those dreams were pulled away from her when she was suddenly married to a stranger at 17 and had to leave behind her family in Pakistan to move to Canada. Her new husband and his family promised that the marriage and the move would be a fulfillment of her dream, not a betrayal of it. But as the walls of their home slowly became a prison, Samra realized the promises were empty ones.

A balanced account of game changes, conflicts and ambitions. The fall from popular grace of the previously adulated brother of the heir to the British throne as a consequence of his marriage to a beautiful and dynamic Hollywood starlet of colour makes for fascinating listening in best-selling royal author Lady Colin Campbell's balanced account. Lady Colin knows her royal history and psychology, and as the first seven years of her adult life were spent in the USA, she has a foot in both the American and British camps.

Growing up on Cape Cod in the 1960s, Liza Rodman was a lonely little girl. During the summers, while her mother worked days in a local motel and danced most nights in the Provincetown bars, her babysitter - the kind, handsome handyman at the motel where her mother worked - took her and her sister on adventures in his truck. He bought them popsicles and together, they visited his “secret garden” in the Truro woods. To Liza, he was one of the few kind, understanding, and safe adults in her life.

Description
Shortlisted for the 2021 Crime Writers of Canada Brass Knuckles Award for Best Nonfiction Crime Book
Diplomat father. Murdered mother. Emotionally neglected children. An apparent cover-up. Family dinners will never be the same.
"I think that my father murdered my mother."
That terrible belief spurs author Jeff Blackstock to investigate the circumstances of his mother Carol's death when he was a child. Carol Blackstock died at age 24 in 1959 - poisoned by arsenic - but the cause of her death remained shrouded in mystery for decades. Jeff's father George Blackstock was a career diplomat in Canada's foreign service, posted to glamorous Buenos Aires with his wife Carol and their three children. A little more than a year after the family's arrival, the vivacious young mother, now emaciated and in terrible pain, was transferred to Montreal for treatment of a mysterious illness that proved fatal. In the following year, George Blackstock remarried, and a young woman named Ingrid became the feared stepmother to Jeff and his two siblings.
Carol's parents soon had suspicions about their son-in-law George but were unable to get justice for their daughter. Class privilege - George was the scion of a Toronto establishment family and Carol was from modest beginnings - and an aversion to scandal all figured in an apparent cover-up. But secrets have a way of eventually disrupting all families. A damning autopsy report about arsenic poisoning, found among their grandmother's effects, leads Jeff Blackstock and his sister to horrifying revelations about their father. Eventually, they confront him and accuse him of their mother's murder. But George offers only vague explanations that don't add up. George died a broken man, mostly abandoned by his adult children.
A compelling story of a high-society murder, a heartbreaking tale of emotionally neglected children, and an inquiry into the power and privilege of the Anglo upper classes of the time, Murder in the Family chronicles the shocking legacy of deeply buried secrets and betrayal in one's own family.
Ce que les critiques en disent
One of The Globe and Mail’s “Five new thrillers to warm up your autumn weekends”
Shortlisted for the 2021 Crime Writers of Canada Brass Knuckles Award for Best Nonfiction Crime Book
Nominated for the 2021 Heritage Toronto Book Awards
“[S]tunning.” —Toronto Star
“Murder in the Family hit all the high notes: a dogged investigation, a true murder mystery, and a sense of time and place that only someone who lived it—Jeff Blackstock—could achieve. A page-turner that keeps you guessing to the very end.” —Kevin Donovan, author of The Billionaire Murders
“I don’t know which shocked me most in Jeff Blackstock’s account of his mother’s mysterious death: the cold blooded actions of his father, or the deafening silence of the Canadian diplomatic service. He writes in a measured tone without anger or blame, which makes the story all the more chilling.” —Carol Hay, Writer/Producer Frankie Drake, Murdoch Mysteries

Very Intriguing Story
I could not stop listening to this book. It was heartbreaking and unbelievable that this murderer was never punished. Also made me feel ashamed of our Canadian Government and RCMP of the time. Loved it.

Loved this book!
Heartbreaking how these children lost their mother and then had to deal with a cruel stressed stepmother, forced to all her mom.
As a mother, I can imagine abusing any child biological or not. These resiliency of these children is mind blowing. Their bio mom would be so proud. Their father, well
I have no words appropriate to describe my feelings of him. This big is in honour of the mother they were never allowed to grieve!

A beautifully written crime story.
This very personal tale reminded me of Angela's Ashes where it starts as a young child's perspective of his family life. We experience him and his siblings shaped by a father who is a narcissistic sociopath and murderer of their dear mother. They eventually thrive in adulthood while the father is exiled and pays for his evil. Well done.

Gripping
Remarkable story, intriguingly laid out. It was gripping, as each revelation, once discovered, led to both more suspicions and doubts. Layers were peeled back over many years until the truth is clear. Serendipity played a role in clues coming to light vs being missed. Shocking as a Canadian to learn about the lives of diplomats. Highly recommended.

Outrage!
I’m so sorry for the loss of Carol and the suffering of the Grays, Jeff, Doug, Julie and the family members who loved Carol. You did a great job with this book. Thank you for bringing the truth to light.
To any of you people still alive who did nothing, may you rot in hell with George.
