IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU Susan Powell, Her Mysterious Disappearance, and the Murder of Her Children

Narrator Kevin Pierce deftly presents most of the narrative on the unthinkable murder of Susan Powell, a young Mormon mother. Her killing was just the beginning of the horror that husband Josh Powell inflicted on his family. Adding reality--and sadness--to the story is narrator Laural Merlington, who renders several years of email, letters, and chats from Susan, including her last known words before she was murdered. Pierce impressively handles the in-depth investigation, particularly the many voices of family, friends, church members, and police as they unravel a story that would be deemed unbelievable if it were fiction. The authors include interesting details about the Mormon church and its members. Listeners will be fascinated by this close look at how the police painstakingly get their man.
