    Missing photos
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2023*

I was looking forward to reading this book plus seeing the 8 pages of photos it was said to have. I searched the entire book to see them but there are no photos in my book. Very upset as I paid over $20 for this book!

    A terrifying fall, but was it murder?
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2017*

Harold Henthorn had planned a romantic getaway for his wife for their 12th anniversary.  First, he took her to the hotel that inspired the book, 'The Shining', and then there was to be a hike through the Rocky mountains.  In the evening, they had reservations at an expensive restaurant.But that afternoon, tragedy struck, with Toni falling off a cliff.  It took Harold almost an hour to climb down to his wife.  She had landed on a rocky outcropping, so he dragged her to a flat area where he could tend her, leaving a bloody trail over the rocks.Finally, after his climb down the mountain, Harold called 911, but because he was in a wilderness area, they transferred the call to the rangers.  The entire of Harold's call to the ranger is in the book and it will convince you that under no circumstances do you want to have a medical emergency in the wilderness.  It took a long time for Harold even to describe the area here his wife lay bleeding,  Eventually the ranger had sussed the area well enough that he told Harold  that it would likely take an hour to get anyone there to help him.  It was late in the afternoon,  and, already, the unconscious Toni was breathing shallowly.Everything took longer than expected.  Soon it was 7:30, very dark, and Harold burned some moss so that rescuers could find him.  All this time, he was on his phone, talking to the ranger, to 911. even to the police department.  He knew CPR, and said he tried to use it on his unconscious wife.By 8 PM, when the rescuers finally arrived, Toni was dead.But from the first, the ranger was suspicious of Harold, who seemed abnormally calm.  Harold claimed to have performed CPR, but there was no  lipstick transferred from Toni to Harold.  Also, Harold insisted Toni fell from  30-40 feet.  But when the ranger investigated the area in daylight, the evidence pointed to a fall from a much higher area, making her fall a  frightening 100 feet.  Furthermore, and most tellingly, when the ranger searched Harold's Jeep, he found a map with the area of the cliff from which Toni fell marked with an X in pink highlighter.  Confronted by the evidence, Harold had no explanation to offer.Had he pushed her?  Toni hardly seemed an easy woman to fool.  She was 50, fit, and smart,  an ophthalmologist with a  thriving practice.  She met her husband Harold on a Christian dating site, and was delighted that his job was as a consultant for non-profit charities.Half  of this book deals with the court case.  And it's not an easy case to prove.  They couldn't find any witnesses to Toni's death, and yet, point by point, the lawyers build a solid case that Harold did murder her.  The case  also went into great detail about the death of Sharon Lynn, Harold's first wife, who mysteriously died after a Jeep fell on her.  Fans of CSI will really enjoy the explanations of how they deduced the Jeep could not have fallen on Lynn the way Harold claimed.

    AWFUL crimes, GREAT writing
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2020*

You can't go wrong with Fleeman! What more is there to say?The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it's difficult to understand how the one woman "fell" to her death when you see the included photos, and I prefer a bit more dialogue in the trial section. Fleeman summarizes and this book was really short due to the length of the length of the defense case - so he COULD have given us a bit more "meat" somewhere.I also would have liked to have seen him delve into Howard's mind a bit. The need to control everything and the quick to marry features of his personality are signs of an abuser and I'm curious what else may have really been going on. I don't think a deep enough dive was done.Was a psychologist consulted for this book? It doesn't appear so because there's nothing here that delves into his psyche. That's why a lot of us like true crime - to find out what's in their head. That was lacking here.I'd LOVE an update on Haley someday, to know if she ever win her freedom from having to see him. In cases like this, why should children be forced into that?
