About this listen
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 and Gore 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).

"An extraordinary book.... As compelling as the best fiction and as thorough as the best history." (Dallas Times Herald)

Thankyou audible
A little disjointed at the start but that’s just because there is so many characters. Once you establish the two main couples then the story is so complex and involves and it’s an awesome book. I def will be looking out for more books like this.
Thankyou audible for having a gripping true crime story that’s written so well.

Rich in details
All the characters lives and personalities were explored giving the book depth you don’t always find in true crime accounts. If you love John Glatt you’ll love this.

Very thought provoking.
Interesting read for the underlying messages about how different each person sees a relationship and the purpose of the relationship. Good read for someone looking to challenge your thoughts.
