Title: Love Lies Pdf A True Story of Marriage and Murder in the Suburbs
When Nancy Cooper moved from Canada to Cary, North Carolina, with her new husband Brad, their future was bright. Living in one of the most picturesque towns in the United States, the couple mingled with neighbors, attended parties, and raised two daughters.
Then, on July 14, 2008, the façade came crashing down when Nancy’s strangled body was found in a storm pond.
Nancy’s husband claimed she had gone for a jog and never came back. But as the police investigation deepened, a complex web of affairs and lies involving multiple residents of Cary’s idyllic neighborhoods was uncovered, and Brad was brought to trial for the murder of his wife. At the heart of it stood the Coopers’ soured marriage, Nancy’s threat to leave with the children, and her own cold-blooded murder. It would take a mountain of damning evidence before justice was served.
Interesting I really wanted to like this book because I grew up in the Cary area many years ago and I had heard about the case but...It was an unusual book. The author did a really good job telling the story but in the book's own words, it was "painfully redundant." I have never read another book that told the same information over and over and over again like this one did...exactly the same information! For example, something happened and it was told once, then it was told to the police, then it was told to the family, then it was told to a reporter, then it was told in a deposition, then it was told in court, etc. It was really strange! The story itself was sad but interesting with a surprise ending. It was just an "okay" book, not great.Too much and not enough The best true crime writers need to sift through tons of court records, news stories, etc., and gather fresh material through interviews. Then they develop a compelling narrative and offer useful perspective. Amanda Lamb does none of these. She is bogged down in endless pages recounting court hearings and one-sided family views. She refuses to explore details of the infidelities of the parties. She acknowledges that the story took place in her community so perhaps she is too close to it, is too timid, or is just not a good nonfiction writer. This interesting crime deserved better telling and analysis.If you like repetition you will love this book If you like repetition you will love this book. I had to skip to the end, and even then I didn't care what happened. The beginning was interesting and then it became boring. A good book if you can't sleep. Did the author think anyone would care about all that family stuff? She should read some Ann Rule.
