Bitch On Wheels: The Sharon Nelson Double Murder Case
by Gregg Olsen
1998
St. Martins

Sharon Nelson did not have much life experience. She did not need to. The one talent she did have she excelled in.

Luring successful and married men into sexual affairs.

The women in Thornton, Colorado all avoided her;she made them feel uncomfortable. The men could not get enough of her. She made them so comfortable they would do anything for her. When things got complicated, as they usually do with affairs, Sharon always had a solution. Convince her lover to kill them. Problem solved.

Gregg Olsen did an excellent job bringing the callous and calculating nature of Sharon to light. He writes with a flow that is easy to follow and fast to read.

Good, quick true crime ( )

This book was originally published in 1998 under the title “Confessions of an American Black Widow”, it was re-released in 2013 as an e-book with the title “Bitch on Wheels”. I have the 1998 version in paperback, the 2013 version as an ebook, mainly because I didn’t realize they were the same book. M. William Phelps wrote a foreword for the ebook version, a fact I find appropriate since I was reading his book at the same time I was reading this.

We come into the story at the death of Sharon Nelson’s third husband, we then go back in time to her first husband, who Sharon didn’t kill, apparently she decided it was better if her exes were dead. She had her lover kill husband number 2 and 3, while at the same time keeping him as her lover. He didn’t seem to want to marry Sharon, of course that would have meant leaving his wife.

Gregg Olsen does his usual stellar job. His in dept recounting of the lives of the people involved makes one feel like they know them, yet his detailed reported doesn’t drag and is his style of writing is very readable. Gregg Olsen could re-write the phone book and I would read it. Well maybe not. My only complaint was the order the account was told was rather confusing, we kept going back and forth in time. Still a worthwhile read. ( )

Nothing particularly shocking in the first book..it's really just us getting to know Sharon. ( )
