About this listen

At first, Linda Bergstrom's marriage to her husband James was idyllic. They were young and in love; he was about to enter the Navy and she was eager to start a family. But it wasn't long before the dream exploded. James became abusive and violent, prone to sudden bursts of anger, long silences, and unexplained disappearances. But Linda vowed to hold on, despite the pain and fear...and her disturbing suspicions about her husband's secret life.

Then, not long after their move to Houston, Texas, she made a terrifying discovery: James's hidden cache containing duct tape, a ski mask, and handcuffs. No longer could Linda Bergstrom deny the hideous truth.

The man she lived with, the man she married for love, was a dangerous psychopath. And there was no escape and nowhere to run. Because no one - not her friends, the Navy, or the police - would believe her.

The hoops that police have to jump through to have somebody convicted is absolutely unbelievable. I really wish Linda and Ashley happiness for the rest of their lives.

I saw this book recommended on Reddit and I bought it a few days ago. I could not stop listening. Walking the dog, cooking etc I had my headset on. This story goes deeply into the life of a predator. The book goes inside the mind of a offender ( as much as you can) and attempts to explain the obsession they have for stalking and offending.
I listened to this book in two days and it definitely stays with you. The women of Texas were lucky he was caught when he was.
