Publisher's Summary
Gregg Olsen tells the whole shocking story of this true crime in Cruel Deception.
In and out of hospitals since birth, angelic nine-month-old Morgan Reid finally succumbed to what appeared to be sudden infant death syndrome. Morgan's Texas-born mother, Tanya, a nurse and devoted wife, pulled up stakes with her grieving husband, Jim, and moved on. It was the best way to put the past behind them. Until their son, Michael, a boy who by all accounts was terrified of his mother, began showing signs of the same affliction that stole the life of his baby sister....
First, the suspicion: Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Then, Tanya was charged and convicted with felony child abuse of her son. She was later tried and ultimately convicted for first degree murder of Morgan. It would become a landmark trial that unfolded in a series of reversals and bizarre twists of fate as it gradually revealed another side of Tanya Reid—of her own troubling childhood and the dark secrets that drove a woman to the cruelest deception of all....

Good book, great narrator.
I really enjoy Greg Olsen’s books but I have to say that Kevin Pierce is my all time favourite narrator.

Heartbreaking
I was already aware of MSBP before embarking on this book, but it’s devastating to hear a long form piece on how it occurs and the horrible effects (including death) it has on children.
The fact that Tanya could do this to her babies is unfathomable and I would like to think that it wouldn’t go undetected in this day and age.
As always, I excellent book by Gregg Olsen and equality great narration. I highly recommend

Cruel Deception
A must if you enjoy true stories, these poor children. Thank goodness medical professionals now have a better understanding of MBPS.
