Evidence of Love

Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
The “fascinating” true story behind the HBO Max and Hulu series about Texas housewife Candy Montgomery and the bizarre murder that shocked a community (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Candy Montgomery and Betty Gore had a lot in common: They sang together in the Methodist church choir, their daughters were best friends, and their husbands had good jobs working for technology companies in the north Dallas suburbs known as Silicon Prairie. But beneath the placid surface of their seemingly perfect lives, both women simmered with unspoken frustrations and unanswered desires. On a hot summer day in 1980, the secret passions and jealousies that linked Candy and Betty exploded into murderous rage. What happened next is usually the stuff of fiction. But the bizarre and terrible act of violence that occurred in Betty’s utility room that morning was all too real. Based on exclusive interviews with the Gore and Montgomery families, Edgar Award finalist Evidence of Love is the “superbly written” account of a gruesome tragedy and the trial that made national headlines when the defendant entered the most unexpected of pleas: not guilty by reason of self-defense (Fort Worth Star-Telegram). Adapted into the Emmy and Golden Globe Award–winning television movie A Killing in a Small Town—as well as the new limited series Candy on Hulu and Love and Death on HBO Max—this chilling tale of sin and savagery will “fascinate true crime aficionados” (Kirkus Reviews).

Trials of Passion
Author: Lisa Appignanesi
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1605988154
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
A journey into the heart of dark passions and the crimes they impel. When passion is in the picture, what is criminal, what is sane, what is mad or simply bad? Through court and asylum records, letters and newspaper accounts, this book brings to life some sensational trials between 1870 and 1914, a period when the psychiatric professions were consolidating their hold on our understanding of what is human. Outside fiction, individual emotions and the inner life had rarely been publicly discussed: now, in an increasingly popular press and its courtroom reports, people avidly consumed accounts of transgressive sexuality, savage jealousy and forbidden desires. These stood revealed as aspects not only of those labelled mad, but potentially, of everyone. With great story-telling flair and a wealth of historical detail, Lisa Appignanesi teases out the vagaries of passion and the clashes between the law and the clinic as they stumble towards a (sometimes reviled) collaboration. Sexual etiquette and class roles, attitudes to love, madness and gender, notions of respectability and honor, insanity and lunacy, all are at play in that vital forum in which public opinion is shaped—the theater of the courtroom.

Pages : 140
Book Description
True Crime of Love and Passion is the first book of three novels that tells the story of three different ordinary women who finds themselves after experiencing the harshness of a man’s world. Their stories will shine the light on their tormented hearts, with them experiencing abuse and rape—finding themselves through it all. Each choice they make leads them closer to the love they so crave and the life they wish for. True Crime of Love and Passion is the firsthand account of a young woman who grew up sheltered by her loving parents. They put her though medical school and taught her how to take care of herself in the real world. After graduating, she finds a little house and job just outside of the city. There she finds herself alone for the first time in her life. After meeting a strange man in her home one evening and waking up to her father’s voice, she thinks she is going mad. She is embarrassed and afraid to know the truth behind her mystery man, who is somehow able to take control of her and enter her home without a trace. She learns that the crime of love and passion comes at a cost when her life is turned upside down as she is forced to follow a dark path of death and pain. She wonders who she can trust, and if the man she finds she can’t live without, who shows her a love like she has never known before, can handle her betrayal when she finds out she is with a child but doesn’t know who the father is—the ghost of a man or her first real love.
