Publisher's Summary
Was Jason the monster who bludgeoned his beautiful wife to death, leaving his toddler alone for hours to walk through her blood? If so - would he get away with it?
To the outside world, Jason and Michelle Young lived a storybook life - an attractive couple with great jobs, a beautiful home, a precocious two-year-old daughter, and a baby boy on the way.
Soon after the 29-year-old pregnant mother’s brutally beaten body was discovered on their bedroom floor, a very different picture emerged. Of a marriage crumbling at its foundation. Of a meddlesome New York mother-in-law whose running critique left Jason frustrated and angry. Of a 32-year-old man who behaved like a frat boy rebelling against adult responsibilities.
Murder on Birchleaf Drive documents the gripping tale of a family’s marathon quest for justice, confounding crime scene evidence, the persistence of law enforcement officers, and riveting courtroom combat.
“One of the best true crime books I have read.” (David S. Rudolf, featured attorney, The Staircase [Netflix])

Well Written but Poor Narration
I very much enjoyed this book but the narration was very off-putting. The narrator does voices for the direct quotes; these are jarring and annoying as he employs hokey accents.
I almost didn’t finish it because of the narrator but persevered as the book tells an insightful story of one man’s narcissism.

A great story ruined by the narration
This is such a great interesting gripping true crime drama! However, the narration is so annoying I struggled to listen to the entire thing. When the narrator is reading the story it’s great, then he goes into character during the parts that are dialogue driven and no matter which person he is trying to portray he sounds like an uneducated, banjo playing redneck and I am so distracted by the lame theatrics. Instead of focusing on the dialogue I’m waiting for the theme song of deliverance to start playing. I wish he just read the story without the characterizing of the people involved. The story itself was very good.

More about the Trial then Crime
If you like trial stories then you will like this as there are 3 trials which makes this book very repetitive. I had to stop listening. I will goggle to see how 3rd trial ended rather than listen to the same information again. I prefer crime stories not trial details.
