Cruel Doubt by Joe McGinness is a tale of true crime. From the dust jacket; "There's no way you can hurt her. This is a woman with nothing left to lose" " With these words from a distinguished North Carolina criminal lawyer, Joe McGinniss entered the bizarre and tangled life of Bonnie Von Stein - the former Bonnie Lou Bates of Welcome, N.C. - whose newly wealthy husband was brutally murdered as he lay in bed beside her "
The book is a riveting account of small town murder and a tale of an ordinary family who had their lives and illusions about each other shattered one hot summer night in 1988. Bonnie was determined to make this marriage succeed and she hung tenaciously to her faith in her children. One child lost in a maze of drugs, academic and social failure - seemingly unable to distinguish between reality and a fantasy game, and the other child detached and emotionless who slept through the attack that night, a fact meet with skepticism by authorities. The book is a murder mystery, court room drama and heartbreaking account.
