by Jane Velez-Mitchell

The New York Times bestselling account of a gruesome, twisted crime and the salacious trial that gripped the American public On June 9, 2008, the butchered body of Travis Alexander was found in his Arizona home with twenty-nine knife wounds, his throat slit, and a gunshot to the head. The prime suspect was Alexander's ex-girlfriend, Jodi Arias, who claimed she killed Travis in self-defense. Soon, graphic stories about the Mormon couple's relationship and their lurid sexual encounters emerged, launching a trial filled with sex and deception and raising substantial questions about Arias's deceit-filled world. Award-winning broadcast journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell unearths Jodi's history to illustrate the disturbing pattern of a murderer in the making. With insider accounts from those closest to Travis and Jodi, she separates fact from fiction, reporting on the bizarre and explicit stories that emerged during the riveting trial. Complete with photos and a new afterword, Exposed takes readers behind closed bedroom doors to uncover the secret life of Jodi Arias.

Good narrator for the most part. My husband said "it sounds like a computer reading" but i didn't think it was that bad. I did have to speed it up a bit because she speaks very slowly!
The story is interesting for sure. I wasn't a huge fan of the back and forth of the timeline but it didn't ruin the book for me. If you like modern true crime, this is a book you will enjoy!
