Where Monsters Hide by M.
William Phelps – 4 Stars
Publisher: Kensington Books
ISBN: 9781496720818
I have not read other books in the
True Crime category, so had nothing to compare this to and no preconceived
expectations. It is an exhaustive, but compelling story of a woman who is
described as “the worse female serial killer in modern America .” She
was convicted of two murders and suspected of nine more.
The interviews with Kelly Cochran
became tedious. Several times I set the book aside to switch to another book. The
length of this book becomes understandable considering the hundreds of
interviews and investigation over many years. The pictures at the end put a
face to the people I spent hours getting to know. I developed great respect for
Sheriff Laura Frizzo and Detective Jeremy Ogden for their persistence dealing
with a narcissistic psychopath who was a master of manipulation.
Where Monsters Hide
was a disturbing account. The insight into the evil mind of Kelly Cochran was
fascinating and frightening. The courage of those in law enforcement who did
not quit until she was convicted and imprisoned was inspiring. I thank
Netgalley.com and Kensington Books for the opportunity to preview this book and
introducing me to True Crime stories.
