"Giving this book 5 stars seems a bit morbid. This true story took place not too far from where I live. Many of the locations/cities, ect I am familiar with. Stephen Grant met Tara Destrampe at MSU, and both eventually fell in love, and got married. Tara was the breadwinner of the family and eventually worked her way up in the corporate office she worked for. She was often away from home, but always strived to be home for important events for the kids, and called everyday to speak to her 2 young children. Tara and Steve seemed to have the "perfect life" as many friends observed. One day in February 2007 when Tara returned from a businees trip, something snapped in Stephen's mind and he strangled and killed and dismembered her. I remember seeing him plead to news reporters that someone find his wife...he was so fake. I knew he had something to do with her disappearance as it took him 5-6 days to report her missing! While police were trying to find her and investigating the house, Steve eventually fled to northern michigan. This was a book that I read rather quickly, and this is probably the quickest I have read a book in recent months. A sad story, yet glad to see that justice was served. I hope Grant stays in jail long past his 87th birthday."
"I hope that the Tara Grant's kids are doing well. I think that Steve just lost control of his emotions when Tara starting saying things to him but nobody deserves to die."
"I ordered this today from Amazon. I worked with Tara for over 10 years, and knew her well. This entire incident still leaves me sick. I think I'm looking for some kind of closure, here. Knowing it isn't there. I finished this book pretty quickly. It's an easy read as far as that goes. For me to review this to others is not realistic. I'm too close to the situation and know too much to critique the author's work. Suffice to say they did a credible job with research, it's organized well and reads well for a "true crime" genre work. That's really all I can say about this on any type of public forum."
