Perfect for you if...

  • You love true crime that reads like a thriller, with real stakes and genuine courtroom drama rather than speculation.
  • You're fascinated by crimes of passion involving wealth, infidelity, and the kind of greed that destroys entire lives.
  • You appreciate Stella Sands' investigative detail and want the full story of how police finally solved a cold case.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer mysteries where the culprit is unknown from the start, not cases where motive and suspects are obvious early on.
  • You're uncomfortable reading about spousal manipulation, embezzlement, or infidelity treated as entertainment.
  • You want heavily novelised crime narratives rather than journalistic accounts grounded in court records.

About this book

Nanette Johnston placed a personal ad stating: "I know how to take care of my man if he knows how to take care of me." Newport Beach millionaire Bill MacLaughlin responded to the ad. Within months, the 28-year-old moved in with the middle-aged entrepreneur. Three years into their relationship, Johnston began seeing another man—a former NFL linebacker working at a nearby nightclub. Three weeks later, MacLaughlin was found dead on his kitchen floor in a pool of blood. Johnston had an alibi and held a million-dollar life insurance policy on MacLaughlin. Investigators discovered she had embezzled money from his business, but lacked sufficient evidence to charge her with murder. The case remained unsolved for years until new evidence emerged, leading Johnston and her boyfriend back to court in a case involving lust, betrayal, greed, and murder.
