Summary
In August 2009 former madam Dalia Dippolito conspired with a hit man to arrange her ex-con husband's murder. Days later it seemed as if all had gone according to plan. The beautiful young Dalia came home from her health club to an elaborate crime scene, complete with yellow tape outlining her townhome and police milling about. When Sgt. Frank Ranzie of the Boynton Beach, Florida, police informed her of her husband Michael's apparent murder, the newlywed Dippolito could be seen on surveillance video collapsing into the cop's arms, like any loving wife would do. The only things missing from her performance were actual tears.
And the only thing missing from the murder scene was an actual murder.
Tipped off by one of Dalia's lovers, an undercover detective posing as a hit man met with Dalia to plot her husband's murder while his team planned then staged the murder scenario - brazenly inviting the reality TV show Cops along for the ride. The Cops video went viral, sparking a media frenzy: twisted tales of illicit drugs, secret boyfriends, sex for hire, a cuckolded former con man, and the defense's ludicrous claim that the entire hit had been staged by the intended victim for reality TV fame.
In Poison Candy, case prosecutor Elizabeth Parker teams with best-selling crime writer Mark Ebner to take listeners behind and beyond the courtroom scenes with astonishing, never-before-revealed facts, whipsaw plot twists, and exclusive details far too lurid for the trial that led to 20 years in state prison for Dalia Dippolito.

Good book spoiled by narrator
listening to this book was definitely a struggle as the narrator sound like one of those computer voices. It was very staccato. I managed to get to the end because the content was informative and provided more detail

Terrible computer voice!
A fascinating story RUINED by a dreadful computer generated voice! Or at least one that sounds like one!
Strange inflections and bizarre speed changes! Never heard anything like it!

YAWN🥱🥱
It coukd have been cut down by 5 chapters minimum. The reader is pleasant but even she could not revive this dull compilation of information. A frustrating annoyance us I presume semi verbatim cross examinations in court and police questioning. It was NEVER Ending, unnecessary, repetitive, dreary and beyond dull. Does the audience need to endure every single word spoken?? If I wanted a more lighthearted and easy read I could apply for the entire court transcript myself🙄. Then to give an ending that was probably more interesting and torrid than the entire book 13 minutes is unfathomable. This book I class as 14 hours of my life I will sadly NEVER get back. I hate how American books & documentaries make any topic a minimum of twice as long as it need be. They tend to be repetitive, the recaps adverts and intros are so longwinded that you know the ending before you start. I'd advise burying this book with a relative you don't like who you're convinced in going to purgatory as you'd need an eternity to read, digest & understand it.
