True crime story of Chris Watts who killed his wife, Shanann who was 3 months pregnant, their 2 daughters, Bella age 4 and Celeste age 3. It is not an easy read and a very shocking one as they appeared to be a happy loving family. The book is a timeline of how they deteriorated after economic, family and relationship problems. Shows how they lived beyond their means. But why did he do it? Wouldn't divorce have been an easier way out? Thanks to LibraryThing and Tantor Audio for a free copy for honest review. The audio really brought the story to life and I would highly recommend listening to it.
