Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the opportunity to read this true crime book by M. William Phelps. Fascinating look into the mind of a criminal! 5 stars.
In Upstate NY, Mary and Bill Yoder ran a chiropractic/healing clinic. Bill was semi-retired but Mary was still actively seeing patients; they were planning a big vacation. When Mary came home from work deathly ill and had to be rushed to the hospital the next day, no one knew what was happening to make this very healthy woman suddenly be on the brink of death. When she died and it was determined she was poisoned, the family and community were shocked. Everyone loved Mary. But evil was at play and it would take sharp detective and prosecutor work to solve the case.
I am a big fan of true crime stories and this one was written perfectly - we got to see how things progressed in real time as well as the recent past leading up to the events. This story really showcases the diligent work that police officers, detectives, lab personnel and district attorneys put in to solve a case and see that justice is done. This story was also made into a Dateline episode which I'm anxious to watch, especially after reading the end notes by the author.
Highly recommended for true crime fans.
