A Wife¿s revenge How would you like to be tied up to a bed and be expecting something pleasurable and instead not to able to defend yourself while your spouse continually stabs you? Susan Wright was beautiful young woman who worked as a stripper, a waitress, a student to become a nurse, and also at a hair salon. While she was working as a waitress when she met Jeff, and then one day at the beach she walked out to her car to find Jeff¿s card on her windshield. Jeff was a real partier who was all into hookers, drugs, and drinking. After he met Susan all of that kind of came to a halt but after they were married for a couple years that part in Jeff started coming back, he had started doing cocaine again and even though he would go to boxing classes after work to relieve his stress and anger he would still bring it home and unleash his fury on his wife and kids. Susan dealt with this for a long time and one day when Jeff came home and was high on cocaine he was messing around with his son when he punched him in the face. Their son started crying and for Susan that was it she couldn't take it anymore, all the years of him beating her and being mean to the kids had to stop so she took things into her own hands and one night she knew exactly what she was going to do to put an end to all of this. The book is very interesting and good and I learned how an act of self-defense could turn into cold-blooded murder. Even though Susan was doing an act of self-defense she took it way too far when she stabbed her husband one hundred and ninety three times. She went from this innocent beautiful young mother to a cold-blooded killer even though she was just trying to protect herself and her sons from any more abuse. The writer¿s style of writing was really good - it made me feel like I was there in the house when all of the suspense was building up to killing. The way the author used imagery was really good, felt like I was looking at her. The whole plot was really easy to follow, at first you were with Susan but after everything unfolded in courtroom, it turns you against her. If you like true crime stories and books full of suspense this book is for you. Self-defense is one thing and cold-blooded murder is another and in this story Susan Wright crosses that line.

I have bought and read many books on my nook color since my husband gave it to me for Christmas, but this is the first review I have felt compelled to write. Therfore I am very hesitant to write this but feel I must, so here goes....I was very disappointed. The writing left much to be desired and the cost was way too much for a book with less than 200 pages. That said buy with caution in my humble opinion.

This book is terribly biased and the author clearly is 100% sold on Susan's innocence regardless of the facts (and therefore left out many). I followed it all very closely (I live in the same city) and saw the trial and then the re-sentencing trial - both have led me to believe (with all the testimony and evidence shown) that she was not a battered wife, but was using that as an excuse.
I don't think anyone will ever know why she did it. But she is a cold cold woman (no emotion during the trial, lots of it during re-sentencing although very much appears to be practiced).
Makes for an interesting read if you don't know anything about it already - but pointless if you do. I love true crime books - but really prefer to know all the facts involved.
