Her Deadly Web

The true crime story of a Tennessee former nurse and the suspicious deaths of her two husbands—by the Edgar–nominated author of Written in Blood. THREE BULLETS. Raynella Dossett Leath said she came home one morning in 2003 and found her husband's body in bed―covered in blood, a Colt .38 by his side. But authorities were suspicious of Raynella's story. Why would her husband of ten years suddenly commit suicide? And if he had taken his own life, why did it appear that three shots were fired? TWO DEAD HUSBANDS. David Leath was not the first of Raynella's husbands to turn up dead. After digging into Raynella's past, police unearthed bizarre, gruesome details surrounding the death of her first husband, who was seemingly trampled by his own cattle. Which led investigators to wonder: Could Raynella have staged his death, too? ONE BLACK WIDOW? To those who knew her, Raynella was a loving mother of two, a good neighbor and friend, a nurse who always reached out a helping hand. Was this woman capable of killing both her husbands? And if so: Why did she do it―out of greed, jealousy, revenge? This is the story about what dark secrets were lurking inside her deadly web.
