Product Description
Synopsis
In the lovely town of Pleasant Valley in upstate New York, the maple trees were ablaze with fall's blood-red colour. The air was crisp. And a woman named Susan Fassett left her weekly choir practice at a church - when a killer emerged from the shadows and mercilessly gunned her down...Stunned, the police immediately suspected Susan Fassett's husband and surrounded his home. They couldn't have been more wrong. Susan Fassett had been living a secret life, entangled in a passionate web of dominance, lesbian sex, betrayal - and a depraved plan for murder. After detectives untangled a web of secrets and corruption hidden in plain sight, the town of Pleasant Valley would be rocked again when a shocking trial exposed the whole sordid truth...

As a true crime fan I read a lot of true crime books, found this very well written and thoroughly enjoyed it. What I enjoy in crime books is not the crime but the tangled relationships and psychology behind why people behave as they do. For anyone who enjoys a good read and an interesting story I would recommend this.

A Cop's Wife! A Crooked Public Official! and the shooter!
7 July 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Dawn Silverheels, Susan Fassett, and Freddy Andros are involved in this complicated scenario of one guy's fantasy. The story is not fiction but true fact. Dawn, the shooter, is intimidated by Freddy Andros to shoot and kill Susan, Freddy's sometimes long-time lover, and unwilling aide in his many corruptive crimes. Susan and Dawn had even lesbian sex with each other to please Freddy despite the women's obvious discomfort in the acts. Freddy was a control freak who used people like Dawn and Susan to commit acts. Susan was scheduled to testify when she was gunned outside a church in upstate New York after choir practice. Freddy being a coward gets Dawn to do his deed and blackmails her with threatening harm to her only son. Susan who was longtime married to a cop in Poughkeepsie had reconciled their relationship and ended her affair with Freddy. But you can't say no to Freddy.
I was quite disappointed by Phelps' latest offering in the true crime genre. He doesn't give as much detail as he normally does in his books. I don't even know if the victim was cremated or interred in a cemetery. I don't even recall reading about her funeral services or maybe I passed over them by mistake. Usually Phelps is a better writer but not this one. He even had access to Dawn which is surprising.

disappointed
17 Feb 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is a great disappointment. I have all of M.William Phelps previous true crime books and really enjoyed them. This one, Deadly Secrets, has no in-depth (because there's nothing to dig into), no suspense, and no interesting story. The whole thing is revealed right at the start and you might as well finish reading at that point because nothing new comes out! Sorry, but I think this one was a rush job just to publish something. It won't stop me looking at his next project, but I won't be recommending this one. Especially considering how much I paid to get it shipped here!

Not this crap from one of my faves!
13 April 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
M.W you are one of my most fave true crime authors...but I have to say you DROPPED THE BALL on this one.
This book was terrible! There was not one single thing interesting about it. I kept turning page after page, thinking "oh, the good part is coming."
But it never did.
It was dull.
Dead.
Boring.
A waste of time and money.
I want someone to tell me WHAT was interesting about this book...WHAT!
There were no surprises, no suspense, no revelations even.
So disappointed...Hey M.W can I have my money back?
