Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy true crime stories where the killer hides in plain sight behind respectability and charm.
  • You want the investigative detail: how police actually untangled the lies and found the evidence.
  • You're drawn to cases where the victim's family refuses to accept the official story and pushes for truth.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You find detailed accounts of poisoning or prolonged suffering distressing.
  • You prefer true crime that focuses on the killer's psychology rather than the procedural investigation.
  • You want a story with ambiguity or moral complexity—this is a straightforward account of deception and murder.

About this book

Julie Keown appeared to have an ideal life: a successful career, financial stability, and a husband enrolled at Harvard Business School. When Julie died suddenly, an autopsy revealed she had been poisoned with antifreeze. Her parents grew suspicious of James Keown's role in her death. This account documents how investigators and state police worked to expose James Keown's pattern of deception and uncover the circumstances surrounding Julie's death.
