...A successful lawyer, Perry March married the beautiful daughter of one of the most powerful attorneys in Nashville. Through his wife Janet, Perry won a position in his father-in-law's firm and joined the city's social elite. The couple raised two children in a mansion that Janet, a talented artist, designed. They seemed to have the good life and more...
A Husband's Betrayal
...But in 1996, when Janet vanished, police dug into Perry's past, turning up strange stories of sexual obsession, unfaithfulness, and vicious arguments with Janet. When they suspected that one of those fights ended in murder, Perry skipped town with his children.
A Father's Vow For Justice
Janet's father would not let Perry escape so easily. He and his agents pursued the murder suspect to Chicago, and then to Mexico, where Perry opened a new practice and remarried. Still, ten years would pass before the desperate fugitive became trapped in his own web of deceit and betrayal.

Love, Lies, And Murder: They Were the Perfect Couple... Then He Killed Her Reviews
-
If I could give this book less than one star, I would. Terrible, hack job. True crime at its worst. I know this story intimately and this writer added nothing and made the tale uninteresting when in reality, it's the opposite.
-
This book came out a couple months before 'An Unfinished Canvas: A True Story of Love, Family, and Murder in Nashville' by Michael Glasgow and Phyllis Gobbell, which covered the same case (and which I preferred).
-
This was an intriguing true crime case involving a young missing mother and a husband who falls under suspicion. I got through it quickly- it was quite gripping. I found the circumstances and the shady behaviour fascinating. Reading about a case like this in detail becomes almost a character study of how the cunning and callous mind works, with no sense of compassion or accountability. I think the author really managed to bring this case to life and it was riveting. A couple of times I found some parts slightly long-winded, such as the disposition script and the prison telephone script towards the end, but that would be my only critique.

Rated it a middle. Could have watched the special on it but went for the book. Lots of twists but didn’t enjoy reading the layout chats between two people in the book.

Perry and Janet March were a young couple that lived in Nashville. Perry was a high profile lawyer, and Janet was a artist. One day, Perry and Janet have an enormous fight, and Perry said Janet packed three bags and walked out the door, saying she will be back in twelve days, but Perry made a fatal mistake and said before Janet left she gave him a list of things to do before her return. Perry contacts family and friends with this story but tells everyone not to call the police she will be back. For reasons unclear Janet’s parents agree and do nothing for nearly two weeks even though they have there doubts when Janet makes no contact. Janet and Perry have two small children whom everyone knows Janet loved and would not leave behind. With the books many twists and turns this case takes ten years to solve.
I thought the story was extremely well written and presented with the narrative and captures the story of Perry and his father very well. There is enough detail to keep the book interesting and keep the reader wondering what will happen next. A Great read, A very sad story.

Only ok
The book reads pretty much like the transcript of an episode of 48 hours - sometimes fast moving and engaging and sometimes slow and plodding. None of the people were terribly compelling and you don’t get a strong sense of why Perry did what he did. Some of the story gets lost in the unnecessary transcript of phone calls between parties. -
Good book.
-
Another author who falls into the trap of transcribing every moment available in the public record, be it the trial or phone conversations. King spends an uncomfortable amount of time focusing on the perpetrator without giving life to the victim. In some sense, the reader begins to feel that King believes the victim deserved what happened to her. While this bias is never started outright, the constant descriptions of the caring mother as a domineering, angry, stress-causing pedant are deeply troubling.
A book not worth its paper, nor its bytes on an ereader. -
Not bad, but not my cup of tea
I was very interested in the subject of the book. However it dragged for me in a number of places. Most notably with all the depositions and phone transcripts that took up entire chapters. So I was left wanting more story and less filler for lack of a better word. -
Good Read
Very well written, captivating story but, WHERE ARE THE 16 IMAGES? I would very much like to see the people involved, the mansion, etc. I would have given this book 5 stars, but the promised missing images diminished my reading experience by 2 stars. -
Slightly Bland
It was a good read. Could have done without the phone transcripts. Lacked excitement and it was boring at most times. I skimmed over a lot of it especially the phone calls. -
Very well written true crime.
I would absolutely recommend this book. Well told. Wouldn't change a thing. living in Nashville increased my interest. Good book
