When I bought this book I was unsure who wrote it (Steven Grant or Tara’s family) about 10 pages in it was obvious to me that Steven wrote this. I wouldn’t bother buying it there’s not much in there that wasn’t in the news plus who knows if that’s really true. We have already learned of many facts that arent in the book that came out in court. Save your money donate the 7.99 to the Grant Children that way they get the money..

I LIVE IN THE AREA WHERE THIS CRIME WAS COMMITTED AND FOLLOWED THE NEWS OF THE STORY BOTH WRITTEN AND ON TV. THE BOOK IS A GOOD ACCOUNT. I’M SORRY THAT TARA’S FAMILY DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO IT. IT’S WORTH THE READ IF YOU’RE A TRUE CRIME BUFF.

After hearing about the tara grant murder and being from michigan and me and my family have fish in the park where her body was found. I wanted to see why would a person murder his wife just because she was in the corporateworld and going up the ladder? but it was something strange about both of these people, steve grant had problems long before he married tara grant and I just can’t believe she didn’t see them, her own family and friend seen them its just strange. Did she snapped? was he abused? its still things to think about in this case?

Interesting read about a seemingly happy couple who are living the dream with a beautiful home, children, money and a nanny. Behind the scenes are a selfish man and woman. Boo hoo, poor Stephen the stay at home dad, feels his wife demeans him while Tara seems unhappy with the way things are in her marriage. Divorce, maybe? No. Stephen decides to kill Tara and dismember her, burying her body parts in the snow. But all this happens after Stephen decides to play house with the teenage Nanny. Does his love for the nanny lead him to murder or is it his wife’s devotion to her job that does him in?
