"True crime account of husband in Palo Alto killing his music-teacher wife of some twenty years in their home. While Ken, the husband, claimed that Kristine apparently tripped over a pair of shoes he had loathed and repeatedly asked her to get rid of, leading to her death, the paramedics on the scene, police, and finally the medical examiner disagreed; instead saying that Kristine's injuries were too severe to have been from a fall down the stairs alone.
In trying to determine motive for what became so obviously murder, their investigation would led to rumors of a long ago affair with a family friend, questions surrounding the paternity of the oldest Fitzhugh son, and the discovery of an all but dwindled-away inheritance that left the family in financial dire straights.
This was a very interesting and well written true crime account of this California case."
