Synopsis

As an exotic dancer at The Great Alaskan Bush Company in Anchorage, Mechele Hughes Linehan knew how to captivate men. Three of them were convinced she was engaged to them. Then one spring morning in 1996, one man, Kent Leppink, was found in the snow, shot in the head…Days before his death, Kent had removed Mechele's name from his million-dollar life insurance policy. He wrote a letter to his family stating that, should he meet foul play, Mechele would likely be among those involved. But she wasn't charged with Kent's death. She married a doctor, moved to Olympia, Washington, and began a new life. For years, Mechele's suburban friends never suspected a thing. She went to school meetings, hosted backyard barbeques, and was beloved by her neighbors. But authorities eventually found enough evidence to mount a case against her and an alleged accomplice. Did Mechele conspire to kill her ex-fiancé? Or is she the innocent victim as she claims? Seduced by Evil is the shocking true story about a love triangle that ended in mystery—and murder…

Last month I bought some real books (meaning not ebooks ;-)) for my dad for father's day at amazon UK so I decided to get myself some books. This one was one of it. So far I am very much enjoying this read. Now stupid me while i was adding this book I accidentally read that the ending is not satisfyin......more

Nothing crazy here, although it made me think about how I would fare if emails from me twenty years ago were put on trial (I hope good?). I felt the story could have been better organized as it was tough to get into (probably easier around the time this was more relevent) but once it jumped 10 years......more

Goodreads review by David on November 26, 2023

Meh. Not as salicious as I thought it would be, and mostly just a story about sad people doing sad things for money. It really seems like she got out of it and then many years later ended up paying the price for a mis-spent youth (that happened to include a murder.) Fine I guess, but like most true cr......more

This was definitely one of the books that you could get into and never imagine that its ending would be so unsatisfying. Basically the story is the one where you already know how it is going to turn out due to the facts of the case and the lack of any conviction from an early point but still you ho......more
