What's not to love about Betty ?A marathon story, I could barely do anything else in my spare time but read this book.The author did a magnificent job in describing all the family members involved in this epic murder . I feel like I have met every one of them. Betty is a killer,no doubt about it. But I totally understand her increasing raving madness , getting worse with every action .... head Dan came up with.It should have been such an easy divorce, Betty could have had it all.House, cars , Money to go to a fat farm , cosmetic renovations from head to toe...but... Jealousy is a poison that can leak into every pore of ones being.She could not let go, Dan was hers & nothing else would do. Poor kids,but they were just collateral damage ,Betty trampled over them to get her next high in this dirty battle.In the end is was a mismatch & the couple should never have met. Dan was such a nasty piece of manure, anal retentive and without a shred of compassion. He paid his dues and Betty should have faded into the obscurity. Everybody let Betty down,family ,friends, ex & Linda too. She needed help,it should have been forced on her. The murder was a natural ending and I am sure Betty feels absolutely fabulous knowing Dan & his "privat parts" are 6 feet under ,separated from Linda, no double casket.Nothing else matters to her .She deserves the sentence but has my total understanding for her actions. She is one of a kind, jealousy can make every one of us into homicidal maniacs, it just takes the wrong ingredients & presto ,someone gets killed.ps: the length of the book did not deter me, nothing in the story could be abridged. ***** stars
