"The most disturbing and moving look at murder in rural America since In Cold Blood." --Gregg Olsen On a December night in 2004, a 911 operator in Nodaway County, Missouri, received a frantic call from a woman who'd found her pregnant 23-year-old daughter in a pool of blood on the living room floor. Most shocking of all, the dying woman's unborn baby had been viciously ripped from her womb. "Get ready for some sleepless nights." --Carlton Stowers Across the border in Melvern, Kansas, Lisa Montgomery showed off a beautiful newborn she proudly claimed as her own. While some shared her excitement, others harbored suspicions. Meanwhile televisions across the nation broadcast the first Amber Alert for an unborn child. "Phelps is a first-rate investigator." --Dr. Michael M. Baden Newly updated with the latest surprising developments, Murder in the Heartland goes behind the scenes of two picture-perfect American towns forever changed by one horrifying act of violence. With exclusive access to key witnesses, family members, and potential victims who narrowly escaped a similar gruesome fate, M. William Phelps tells a classic American tale of unthinkable murder and the quest for justice.… (mais)

Okay. I finished this book last night. As someone who did not know anything of this case I really wish true crimes would change the way they build up a story.
Nothing wrong with the writing. As always Matt Phelps is doing a phenomenal job. No my problem is with the way the story is build.
Lately when you read a true crime book, after you read the first few pages you will already know, who was murdered, how, and by who. Why not build this story from the beginning. build a little suspence?
I wanted to know more about Lisa, but only at the end of the book her youth and her marriage comes in to play. But when that happens, you read a little bit about her past, but then he does not continue but after each chapter we were brought back to the now. Very annoying.
Still ended up with a lot of questions but I do think M Phelps did a great job what he was dealt with.Great author. Now I am off to search internet to find out what happened with Lisa.

There's a bookshelf at work full of random crap people have donated for us to keep ourselves occupied during our vast downtime (I work in a call center), and I have a weakness for true crime, and...yeah. Not the most heinous example of the genre I've ever read, but definitely not the greatest; while the story -- a woman who'd been deluding herself and everyone she knew into believing she was pregnant attacked and killed another woman, this one actually pregnant, cutting the baby out of her and taking it as her own -- begs for some psychological and perhaps even cultural analysis, all you get is the usual "Aren't women crazy?" narrative.

This was a good true crime book with an intriguing story into the hearts and lives of the victims’ families. The only problem was the anticlimactic ending. The book was written prior to Lisa Montgomery's trial which IMO was a huge mistake. The story would have been much better if we had known the outcome and heard from the family on the verdict. It just takes away from a book when you have to do a Google search to find out answers when you are finished. ( )
