And by the time he was found dead, Glen's wife was more than ready for his funeral.A SEDUCTIVE WIDOWJulia "Lynn" Turner, a former sheriff's assistant and 911 operator, had a thing for men in uniform—and for their money. While detectives and forensic examiners ruled Glenn's death the result of a virulent flu, time would tell another story. Lynn was already secretly living with Randy Thompson, a firefighter, who would meet the same excruciating death…A POISONOUS TRUTH…Driven by family who would not give up their quest for justice, a new investigation and an explosive trial eventually exposed the truth about a woman who had a way of making men die, and about a means of murder that was pure intoxicating evil.

It is hard to understand why some people think money is more important than someone’s life, never mind two lives. Two men suffered terrible deaths because of the greed of one woman who managed to keep feeding them anti freeze whilst she was pretending to look after them. It seems such a heartless thing to do.
The book is quite good with views from fellow workmates, friends and family and I did enjoy reading it.

As good as Ann Rule

Ann rule was my favorite true crime author. I didn't think I would find someone with her style.... Really digging into what makes seemly normal people do horrendous things. I have found her!!

True Crime

This is a book about a rather well-known murder, the killing of two men by poisioning by antifreeze. The crimes were committed strictly for greed

I read this book in one sitting.

I'm glad I started this book on a weekend, because I couldn't put it down. It kept me interested from the first page until the last.

Quick read, but a good one! A little predictable, but you know that going into it.

Never before I was scared of a person like this... Usually when we got gifts from people, we tend to think that they like us, they care about us, but not this one. Moreover, she almost outsmarted the law enforcement and got away with these murders. If only she moved quite far and nobody knew both victims, I think she could have been still roaming free, perfecting her antifreeze Jell-O.

It always amazes me how no one ever listens to the family. They had warned everyone including the police, but still no one listened.

This is a true crime book where a woman kills two men before she is caught and convicted.

True story of a heartless white trash girl from Georgia that kills 2 men by poisoning...full of mullets, Nascar references, and snakeskin boots.
