Description In Pursuance Of Books Love Lies: A True Story of Marriage and Murder in the Suburbs
A perfect life. A perfect lie.When Nancy Cooper moved from Canada to Cary, North Carolina with her new husband Brad, their future was bright: living in one of the most picturesque towns in the US, the couple mingled with neighbors, attended parties, and raised two daughters.
Then, on July 14th, 2008, the façade came crashing down when Nancy’s strangled body was found in a storm pond.
Nancy’s husband claimed that she had gone for a jog and never come back. But as the police investigation deepened, and as Brad was brought to trial for murdering his wife, a complex web of affairs and lies was uncovered involving multiple residents of Cary’s idyllic neighborhoods. At the heart of it stood the Coopers’ soured marriage, Nancy’s threat to leave with the children, and her own cold-blooded murder. It would take a mountain of damning evidence before justice was served.

Just as good a writer as she is a tv journalist, Amanda Lamb covered the tragic domestic violence case with both professionalism and heart. The book was as compelling to read as the original news coverage was at the time.When this trial was going on in Raleigh I was OBSESSED with it. I even wrote about how I was going through withdrawals from it. So I just had to read this book even though I had heard before that it was totally biased. After reading the book, I can see why Amanda Lamb was biased. She ran in the same circles as Nancy (had seen her around everywhere she hung out), their kids were similar in age, and they even lived in the same neighborhood I think. So I am sure when this happened she thought "Wow,
Fairly GoodThis book was fairly good although somewhat repetitious as most true crime books tend to be. It was obviously written with a bias towards Nancy's family. I couldn't count the number of times her father was referred to by his trademark graciousness, aplomb, quiet dignity.......we got it the first dozen times. I was surprised that most of the pictures didn't show Nancy and Krista looking identical. Very strong resemblance but easy enough to tell apart. But it's worthwhile reading.
Sad, tragic true crimeI read a lot of true crime books and many of them really fascinate me as well as make me feel such sympathy for the family of the victim. This book truly touched my heart. The author, who is new to me, truly details the family of the victim, including her two daughters, her twin sister, parents, brother and little sister and the emotional ups and downs they went through. This book truly captured the emotional impact on a victim's family and is exceptional in that aspect.
I listened to the audio version of this book and thought it was well written and narrated. Like the authors other true crime book, I felt that this one got repetitive. There were many conversations and court testimonies that kept repeating the same information. Still, the book is worth reading and I feel so bad for the kids, family members and friends impacted by this horrible murder.
This book caught my attention as we recently moved nearby where this case took place. I however found this book very biased and boring especially in comparison to accounts and articles I've read via google research. It's very repetitive.
Ist book Ive read by this author and Im not impressed. Poorly written, boring & from what Ive read on-line not well researched at all. I also found it very biased, almost the entire book is based on interviews with friends of the victim; only a couple of token interviews with anyone sympathetic to the accused. Why, was this too difficult to arrange, or simply not worth the effort? Brad was sentenced to life in prison based on motive (she was leaving him) and all circumstantial evidence, they
