Love Her to Death

The True Story of a Millionaire Businessman, His Gorgeous Wife, and the Divorce That Ended in Murder

By: John Glatt

Narrated by: Shaun Grindell

A Marriage: Destroyed

They were a picture-perfect family - until a bitter divorce drove Darren Mack over the edge. A Reno millionaire, Mack was ordered by the court to pay his wife $10,000 a month in alimony. Instead, he stabbed her in the garage while their daughter watched TV upstairs.

A Judge: Targeted

The only person Mack hated more than his wife was the family court judge who presided over their divorce. So, after killing his wife, he loaded his gun and went after the judge...and headed for Mexico with a stash of concealed weapons.

A Killer: Wanted

So began an international manhunt for a rage-filled fugitive - featured on America's Most Wanted - that eventually ended in Mack's capture. In a dramatic trial, the public would learn shocking details of the swinging lifestyle that ended his marriage, the ugly divorce that fueled his anger, and the final straw that triggered his bloody spree.

Well done

Very detailed so the begging dragged but that Darren. Boy oh boy talk about a narcissist!!
Good true crime!

Good TRUE CRIME

Unusual story, even for TRUE CRIME, with obviously extensive research by author. Well written also. But I wish narrator would say the names of people involved more clearly.

long winded

long winded.. I hung my hat with 3 hours left. They allowed that man to too much talking. I was very much over hearing his side of the story on repeat.

When Husband's and Wives don't respect each other!

Please someone tell me why someone who is a millionaire marries someone who comes into a marriage w/only the clothes on their back?? Then wants 3/4 ths of what the millionaire has. She couldn't live or be satisfied w/5,000.00 dollars a month. That's why she is dead! Next....if your wife doesn't want to lead or be a swinger anymore and wants to be a Mom, a sexy wife to her husband and go to PTA meetings.....LET HER BE! That's why he's in Prison for the rest of his life. So you wanted basically a Whore, slut for a wife?? Not a role model and parent for your daughter?? Spoiled and immature...over sexed couple who couldn't for two seconds stop and tell each other...I'm sorry and I love you always. Lets think about our daughter and make this marriage work! If we can't...We walk away peacefully and in one piece. Moral..Remember you both once loved and cared about each other. Think about your child. Not yourselves for once.

Despicable

Darren Mack had everything until he decided he didn’t want it anymore. I am always curious if the criminals are ever diagnosed with something to explain why they turn on their loved ones. In this case, Charla knew he would kill her one day.

Hell of a Story

These narcissistic, evil men are all alike. They’re controlling and everything must be their way. This is a good story of one of these guys. You pray that they’ll pay.

Listen first, then Google the case!!!

I like to hear it and then see the real people involved. This was another head shaker!! The lives of some people!!!

Good Story Good Pace

I enjoyed the story very well. I enjoyed the narration as well. I had to get used to the narrator saying Defender when describing the Defendants Attorney's. It sounded like Defendant. But later I did not notice.

Narrator words unclear

I’m so glad this monster that killed his wife is put away for the rest of his!!! I had to continually rewind the story, because the narrator was hard to understand in his pronunciations 

Love John Glatt

I love all Glatt's books. He does a fantastic job of finding the most minute thread of detail and weaving it into a comprehensive, compelling tale. HOWEVER, I will never understand why he tarnishes and sullies his work with such a repugnant narrator.
