About this listen
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....

Amazing book shame about the sexism
I have read/listened to many Gregg Olsen books and whilst I always really enjoy them- I am constantly irked by one thing. In every book, he introduces female characters by describing how attractive they are. It inevitably goes onto graphic descriptions of breasts/figures/lipgloss and their effect on men as if it tells you about the women. Men are never described in this way. There is constant irrelevant comments about female characters weight too “she was a few pounds heavier than she’d like” (as if he knows what she’d like) or comments along the lines of “back when she was successful and thin” and “now she’s fat and depressed”. IT IS CONSTANT

Too Long
This book could’ve been done in 1/4 of the time that it was. The lengthiness took away from the overall story, which was good.
