Was he his brother's keeper?

Robert and Doris Angleton seemed to have the perfect life. Until she was coldly murdered in her own home, shot 13 times in the head, chest, and abdomen....

Suddenly, the ideal husband seemed anything but perfect: He was jailed, accused of hiring his older brother, Roger, to kill his wife for money - possibly as much as $2 million. However, without the crucial eyewitness testimony of Roger - who soon committed suicide in a Houston jail cell - the case against Robert rested entirely on circumstantial evidence. But the facts raise more questions than answers....

Doris Angleton - deeply involved in a secret love affair - had asked her husband for a divorce, which might have exposed him as a tax-skipping millionaire bookie and favored police informant....

Extensive handwritten and typewritten notes, coupled with a secretly taped conversation between Roger and another man outlining the murder, were found in a briefcase Roger Angleton was carrying when he was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, it was later concluded that the second voice on the tape was not Robert's....

Also in Roger's briefcase: $64,000 in cash, along with a money wrapper with Robert's fingerprint on it....

Ultimately, Roger confessed to the murder in his suicide note, exonerating his brother of any guilt....

A Texas jury came to one conclusion.

Listen to this fascinating true-crime account of greed, deception, and cold-blooded murder - and decide for yourself.

This is a great true crime story but it lacks the suspense. It’s an easy book to leisurely listen to.

Interesting but not suspenseful

1.) The title is unimaginative. The death is a small fraction of the book. We know nothing about this woman and do not care that she is dead. 2.) All this could have been avoided if he had been nice to his wife and involved with his family. Guys who do illegal things cannot afford a divorce. She knows "where the bodies are buried." (3.) If you make a million dollars with illegal things, declare it (declare half of it), pay the taxes, invest it, and you will end up with way more than if you don't declare it. And you can breath easy.

He should have been nicer to his wife.

I concur with other reviewers that this story isn’t that suspenseful but it does have an intriguing value. This was a new true crime story for me so it held my attention. However, I despised the chapter discussing the taped conversation between two individuals…Voice One and Voice Two. Extremely annoying. I understand why it was included but still…annoying.

***3.5 Stars*** Rounded up

A well-written and researched story of a complicated case, very well done, and very good narration.

The story was told with great detail, yet not to much! The narrator is one of my favorite!

Enjoyed listening!

I hadn’t heard of this case. It was interesting and I’m not sure justice was served. I like the author but what really stood out was the excellent narration. This was a quick ‘read’.

Interesting case, fabulous narration

This was a good book. I listened to it all in one day. Hard to imagine so Much greed and devious planning. I would recommend this book to someone that likes to read true crime stories. Not quite as good of a writer as some of the other true crime writers I have been listening to. JS

Good book, sad tragic story.

This was actually one of C.Smith’s better books. I was surprised at the end and quite confused. But I was pleased that the author didn’t try and convince me one way or the other. He just gave the story and allowed audience to decide what they think. That’s how True Crime writing should be. Journalistic. The narrator was quite good as well. I don’t think I’ve heard her before, but she was excellent! Highly recommended.

Fascinating!!

The writing is well done. the only problem I found with the book, is how everything ended.

irritating ending.
