Synopsis

Greg DeVillers was a top biotech executive, and Kristen Rossum was embarking on a career in toxicology at the San Diego Medical Examiner's office. They seemed to be happily married, living the American dream. But only months shy of their second anniversary, Kristen found her handsome husband dead from a drug overdose—his corpse sprinkled with rose petals. By his side was their wedding photo. The scene was reminiscent of American Beauty, one of Kristen's favorite movies. Authorities deemed it a suicide.

Until they discovered that the rare poison found in Greg's body was the same poison missing from Kristen's office. Until they discovered the truth about Kristen's lurid affair, about her own long-time drug addiction, and about the personal and professional secrets she would kill to keep hidden—secrets that would ultimately expose the beautiful blonde as the deadly beauty she really was . . . a Deadly American Beauty.

Sadly that was not the case and I choose to dnf somewhere in the 70s (percent). But as always, I appreciate the amount......more

Goodreads review by Lilli

This was an engrossing and twisted true crime read. I was surprised I had never heard of this case and even more surprised on how little information comes up with a few quick Google searches. Definitely recommend this to true crime fans. Further review to come!......more

Goodreads review by Bren fall in love with the sea.

I do like a true crime read every now and again but this was so just way to tragic and dark for me.......more

Goodreads review by Jazmine

The author repeats things over and over again, to the point of annoyance. The girls family was ticking me off, too: smokin' hot SoCal girl gets hooked on meth and totally starts spiraling downward but parents can't see how their precious little gumdrop could ever kill someone.......more
