Publisher's Summary

"Big Bob" Bashara put on a respectable face. To his friends in Detroit's affluent suburb of Grosse Pointe, he was a married father of two, Rotary Club President, church usher, and soccer dad who organized charity events with his wife, Jane.

To his "slaves", he was "Master Bob", a cocaine-snorting slumlord who operated a sex dungeon and had a submissive girlfriend to do his bidding - and he wanted more slaves to serve him. But Bashara knew he couldn't rule a household of concubines on his income alone. He eyed his wife's sizable retirement account and formulated a murderous plan.

This meticulous account tells the complete story of the crime, the nationally watched investigation and trials, and the lives affected.

Not the usual rote

Usually these kinds of stories are s-so interesting but this one is different because of two factors: 1. The murderer is not front and centre for all the book and 2. The authors take wonderfully interesting tangents. I will look for more by them.

The worst narrator ever!!!

Richard Powers is the worst narrator I have heard yet. The voice he uses for quoting women makes them seem like sniveling, whimpering, pathetic creatures. I feel like he's trying to make fun of us. I feel personally attacked and it makes me angry. The story is interesting enough, but don't listen to it. If you start it, you'll want to know what happens, then you'll have to endure listening to this guy's pathetic attempt at women's voices. Save yourself. Skip this one.
