Summary
He found new brides to love him.
All Diane Bertalan really knew of her new husband, John, was that he was a widower, he lavished her with gifts, and he preferred to keep his past a secret. What she didn't know was that the FBI had been watching him for years. In the fall of 2000, she found out why - it was a crime that had been haunting authorities for decades. They called it the mystery of the Lady in the Box.
Fifteen years later, police found the remains....
A decaying body that had been left along an Indiana roadside ditch in 1980 had finally been identified as Janice Hartman. In 1974, the Ohio woman had been reported missing by her estranged husband...John David Smith. The gruesome discovery was only the beginning of Diane Smith's brutal awakening - for Hartman was only the first of Smith's wives to have vanished off the face of the earth.
The Stranger in My Bed is the chilling true story of one woman who escaped the deadly hold of the killer she loved and married, and of the grieving families of his victims who banded together after nearly 30 years to prove that justice never forgets. Or forgives.

Interesting
Never heard of John Smith and his missing wife’s and it was interesting to find out how they caught him. Narration was good and it was in the Audible plus catalog…

The Stranger in my bed.
Unfortunately I found this story somewhat boring due partly to the narrator’s monotone voice. As for the story itself it’s slow with zero excitement or surprises. The fact that I actually reached the end is perplexing as at more than a dozen times I felt that I was wasting time and should have ditched it and moved on to something more exciting or, dare I say it interesting. Not a book I would recommend hence the 3 star rating. Life is too short and there are millions of books where one could spend some of out precious time. I would apologise to the narrator but instead I say learn how to be a lot n more passionate and enthusiastic when reading a book or leave it to someone else.

Mediocre
I’ve no idea why the narrator tried to talk like May West. It totally put me off listening. It was hard to take information seriously when the narrator sounded like she was from the 1930’a or whatever and really trying hard to be breathy, it was cringe.
