At the evening earlier than Mother's Day, 2004, instructor and mother-of-two Nancy Seaman drove via a hurricane to domestic Depot and acquired a hatchet. 3 days later, the physique of her husband, Bob, used to be stumbled on behind her SUV, hacked and stabbed to loss of life. those evidence aren't in dispute; the query is, How did it take place? Did Nancy homicide her husband whilst he requested for a divorce, or used to be she a battered girl who killed in self-defense? Even the relatives used to be cut up at the solution, with older son Jeff yes his father was once murdered in chilly blood and more youthful son Greg both yes his mom was once telling the reality. Maynard (To Die For), who used to be struck through similarities among her existence and Nancy's, tells the advanced tale of a desperately unsatisfied marriage. notwithstanding she was once not able to get Nancy or so much of her fast family members to speak to her, Maynard turns out to have shaped an incredibly entire photograph in their lives. Her meditations at the parallels among her kin and the Seamans are not compelling yet do not detract from a gripping tale.
