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. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This title was previously published in the US as Confessions of an American Black Widow.From the New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen...Sharon Nelson, a Colorado woman, had her lover Gary Adams murder two of her three husbands. But more interesting than the crime itself is Olsen's portrait of Nelson as a brash, trashy, manipulative sexpot who believed that she was entitled to (and got) everything and everyone she wanted: even her confession, given freely to police in a Pizza Hut restaurant, was anything but contrite. Moreover, Olsen records the recollections of many community members who saw Nelson for what she was, yet seemed oblivious to the adultery, theft and murder under their noses (Publisher's Weekly).With all new foreword by - M. William Phelps, 2011, Investigative journalist, author of 20 books, creator and star of Investigation Discovery's "Dark Minds" Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

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 ( )
