Title: Evidence of Love Pdf A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs
Candy Montgomery and Betty Gore had a lot in common: They sang together in the Methodist church choir, their daughters were best friends, and their husbands had good jobs working for technology companies in the north Dallas suburbs known as Silicon Prairie. But beneath the placid surface of their seemingly perfect lives, both women simmered with unspoken frustrations and unanswered desires.
On a hot summer day in 1980, the secret passions and jealousies that linked Candy and Betty exploded into murderous rage. What happened next is usually the stuff of fiction. But the bizarre and terrible act of violence that occurred in Betty’s utility room that morning was all too real.
Based on exclusive interviews with the Montgomery Gore and families, Evidence of Love is the riveting account of a gruesome tragedy and the trial that made national headlines when the defendant entered the most unexpected of pleas: not guilty by reason of self-defense (Fort Worth Star-Telegram).
Adapted into the Emmy and Golden Globe Award–winning television movie A Killing in a Small Town, this chilling tale of sin and savagery will “fascinate true crime aficionados” (Kirkus Reviews).
Rotten, and NOT Great on Kindle! I was bamboozled into buying this crummy book by the lure of a discount. What a waste of time and money. It's so repulsive that I removed it from my kindle. To readers who might be similarly tempted, be forewarned: it's just another trashy blame-the-victim extravaganza. The book is told, sympathetically, from the point of view of Candy Montgomery, who hacked Betty Gore to death with an axe, forty-one times. At the trial she pleaded self-defense, and the most soulless jury on the planet bought it.Needless to say, we're never going to get Betty's version of what happened (I have a feeling that it would have been quite different from Candy's version); and apparently, that's just fine with the authors.Where is the compassion for the victim of this tragedy? There is none. As Dominick Dunne pointed out, in every murder trial the victim is put on trial. The defense has to make the victim as unsympathetic as possible, implying that he/she deserved to be killed. The authors seem to think that it was okay to take Betty's life because 1) she was a hypochondriac, and 2) she whined a lot.Okay, so she whined a lot. She still didn't deserve to be hacked into a bloody pulp. And the authors only briefly mention the fact that Betty seemed to have turned a corner in her attitude toward others, and become more openly giving.And as if her losing her life wasn't enough, Betty's jerk husband wonders if he ever really loved her.What an act of supreme selfishness, on the part of the husband and the authors! They blithely ignore the horrible pain such a remark would cause the only two completely innocent people in the book: Betty's daughters.Their mother was brutally and suddenly taken from them when they were very young - one was a baby, who never knew her mother- and they weren't even allowed to have the consolation that their father loved their mother.This is a lousy book. The editors of Amazon should be ashamed of themselves for promoting it.Well written! Couldn't put it down! When I received this book I was disappointed because I thought, by the description, that it was written this year. I looked it up and when I saw the cover of the initial printing I was sure that I'd read it in the 1980s, and I almost returned it.Thank goodness that I didn't! I could hardly put this book down. It was extremely well written and read more like a novel. Too often true crime authors spend too much time on the investigation and trial. Being a fan of Ann Rule's style of writing about the people involved, I found Evidence of Love to surpass the majority of true crime books that I've read.My only complaint is that there were no pictures. As I read I often did searches on my phone to try to find the photos of Candace Montgomery, Betty Gore, their husbands and others.This was an excellent book and I highly recommend it.So Well Written A horrible tale, but so engrossing because of the way it was written. A really true page turner. Loved it.
