Bitch on Wheels: The Sharon Nelson Double Murder Case Paperback – April 16, 2013

Even though it's been probably a year since I read this book it has stayed with me. How can a pastor's wife turn so deadly and conniving! Very well written. You'll love reading about all of the twists and turns in this book. Happy reading.

Gregg Olsen is a gifted writer who does a ton of research which makes for an interesting page turner. My only comment on this book is how in the world did those people get away with such abuse and murder for so long. I can't imagine children not reporting being tortured by their parents, but it happens unfortunately.This is another winner for Gregg Olsen.

Anybody who thought this book was good obviously doesn't read much. I regretted that the system forced me to give it one star to continue.Olsen isn't much of a writer but this deficiency was compounded by the fact that the editor and printer were just as bad.For a start the pages weren't numbered, at least in my copy, and with the choppy Olsen writing that barely flows properly I had to be careful not to turn two pages at once. Not that doing so would have mattered much to what I have mistakenly called flow; I had to re-read sentences anyhow. At times names were switched and the book is peppered with what must have been oversights by the editor -- if indeed there was an editor.What is really a captivating story of a horrendous woman could hardly fail to be interesting but it's just a pity that the original researcher gave it to Olsen to screw up -- maybe that was done to utilize name recognition. The real mystery is how a person presenting such a slipshod effort as this ever got that recognition.

In like to read true murder stories. This was a gift that I couldn’t put down.

This story is so absorbing and fascinating, that it makes up for the fact that the book has a distracting flaw: whoever printed this larger format, apparently took the text from the mass market paperback and just sent it to press without adjusting it, so that segments within each chapter are not separated by a space or by *** as is usually done when you jump from one narrative scene to the other. Before I caught on to this, I was wondering why the author, without warning, shifted the narrative from one scene to the next, disconcerting the reader. When I realized what was happening, I understood that the problem was not bad writing or bad editing and I was able to understand the sudden shifts. Also, there are many typos and errors that could have benefited from a good proofreader.Another disappointing misstep worth pointing out is that there are no photos, at least in this printing of the book. Much is made of the black widow's physical appearance, but all we get to see of her is a small photograph of her face on the cover. This is why I give it four stars instead of five, which, for story alone, it deserves.As for the story itself, this true crime tale is so incredible, that if it were a novel you'd stop reading it and label it "too fantastical". But as we read we learn that truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction. How did these otherwise intelligent men allow themselves to fall for this outrageous and manipulative woman? The author does a good job of getting us into the characters' motivations and the story grows more riveting with each page.All in all, this is a top-notch true crime story that will keep you turning pages well into the night!

Thank you Gregg Olson for your vivid descriptions of characters, they came to life for me. Im impressed with your ability to move between two timelines without leading the reader by the nose. You have enough faith in us to know we will keep up on our own. Thank you for your dedication and research. Its obvious you care about realism and detail. Keep it up, we need more!

Sharon Nelson os one narcissistic bitch.Heres a women who attracted very nice men...She destroyed them literally. Everything that Sharon did was to only benefit herself.She didn't care who saw her with other men. She didnt care who she hurt or how badly she hurt them.Its my opinion Sharon was incapable of loving anyone but herself.Sharon was a very dangerous woman...Men are alot safer without her around...

As always, Gregg Olsen does not disappoint. This book had me hooked from the first page to the last. I highly recommend this gripping read by (in my opinion) the best true crime writer of our time.
