Description Conducive To 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.

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.The Author was very biased towards the victim. Not a horrible true crime novel but definitely not the best I've ever read.
Too much of a good story I dont usually review books though I know I probably should since I rely on the reviews myself!This is a decent story but it is full of redundant information. I was able to skip numerous pages because there is only so many ways you can state then information. If written differently it may have made an interesting read but probably not book length. Still, it was a good story if you dont mind skipping pages to get to new information
3.5 stars. According to Brad Cooper, Nancy Coopers husband, Nancy went out for a jog one morning and didnt come back. The Cary, NC mother of two beautiful little girls was in the process of divorcing her husband. This was no secret. Nevertheless, Nancy, according to her associates and friends, didnt seem depressed or sad. So what happened to her and why didnt her husband report her missing when she didnt return home from jogging? Nancys identical twin sister, Krista, believed something sinister
Such a sad story. This is exactly the kind of crime that fascinates me. When divorce is so easy in so many states in the U.S., why does someone resort to murder? There's a good attempt to answer that question in this book. I got a really good understanding of the victim, her family and her killer.The book is a little repetitious at times, but still very good.
Very biased. Meh.
A young Canadian couple relocates to North Carolina and starts a family; one day the wife turns up missing and the husband is arrested for murder after her body is found. This book is admirably sympathetic to the victim and her family (to the point of being completely one-sided, some might argue), but it is long-winded and almost painfully repetitive. For example: both parties were unfaithful during the marriage, and the husband's affair with a particular neighbor (while having no bearing on the
