Synopsis

In August 2015 Limerick man Jason Corbett was murdered by his wife, Molly Martens, and her father, ex-FBI agent Tom Martens, in the bedroom of their luxury North Carolina home. He had been savagely beaten to death with a baseball bat and brick while his children slept nearby. For his sister, Tracey Corbett-Lynch, and the rest of his family in Ireland it was just the beginning of the nightmare that would involve a custody battle for his orphaned children, an online hate campaign by Molly Martens and, ultimately, the gripping trial that would lead to her conviction, alongside her father, for his murder.

My Brother Jason is the story of how this seemingly all-American girl from a picture-perfect family targeted the widowed Jason Corbett, becoming nanny to his children in a desperate bid to create the family and security she craved, thus setting in motion a series of events that would lead to Jason’s brutal killing by the woman he had once loved.

Here, for the first time, Tracey Corbett-Lynch tells her family's side of the story in a book that contains shocking revelations about Molly Marten's history of strange behavior and the lengths she was willing to go to in order to get custody of Jason's children.

Sad story for all involved. Hard though to fathom why the Martens extended family took the views they did in relation to the children . They knew Molly had issues so why were they so convinced she should have the children. Weird story......more

Goodreads review by Ashleigh on April 30, 2019

This book was a very emotional read. Although I knew the tragic ending I found myself rooting for Jason. I cried when reading about the death of his first wife "Mags' three weeks after the birth of their second baby, who was the ultimate love of his life. I felt his pain trying to imagine going it a......more

Gripping true story....just read I live in the county where this murder occurred. I'm appalled at the total disregard for the blatant crime against this man. The father-in-law is ex-FBI, need I say more. We've got to come together and change the crooked system we have here in this great nation. These......more
