This review is from: Deadly Seduction (St. Martin's True Crime Library) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is well written, definitely not garbage, which leads me to believe 'a reader from Michigan City, Ind.' who wrote 'This book is garbage!, October 4, 1998' must be the killer writing from prison. (See the review below.) No one else would be so vehemently opposed to this book! Deadly Seduction describes the unbelievable life of Susan Grund. She grew up poor. Her way out was to marry up. Unfortunately she easily became a bored housewife. Her opportunity was always 'a new man in her life.' Read this book to find out all the juicy details of the death and destruction surrounding her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent True Crime, June 11, 2004

This review is from: Deadly Seduction (St. Martin's True Crime Library) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a well-written (although with a little British slant to it) non-fiction about the murder of Jim Grund, by his wife Susan Grund. The book goes into as much detail as possible, although as usual I wish that there were more about Susan's childhood - was she really molested by her father? Was she abused in other ways? Probably. I don't see HOW Susan managed to get away with what she did to her defenseless step-son - or how the father of that child can live with himself. Susan obviously could live with her herself quite well, going on to marry for money - and commit murder for money. She's ruined so many lives, and has no remorse.

This review is from: Deadly Seduction (St. Martin's True Crime Library) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a really good book. It's a true story about the life of Jim and Susan Grund. I live 4 houses down from their old house ( 7 Summit Drive) I don't see how and wife could do that to their husband, but oh well... this book is really good. if you are into true stories and whatnot, I would suggest this book to you
