"De Bigamist" is het waargebeurde en schokkende verhaal over een vrouw (Mary Turner Thomson) die door haar echtgenoot (Will Jordan) financieel de afgrond in wordt geholpen. Haar leven stort volledig in wanneer zij een telefoontje krijgt van een vrouw die beweert al 14 jaar te zijn getrouwd met Will en samen met hem 5 kinderen te hebben. Mary komt tot het besef de tweede vrouw te zijn van een sociopaat die al sinds zijn tienerjaren een spoor leugens en bedrog achter zich laat met vele slachtoffers, waaronder meer dan 10 kinderen (waarvan Will beweerde ze niet te kunnen verwekken...). Goed en vlot geschreven boek dat ik in één ruk heb uitgelezen. Mij bekroop af en toe wel de gedachte: "Hoe kan iemand zo naïef zijn dat ze zich zo laat voorliegen en manipuleren?". Desalniettemin een zeer boeiend verhaal! Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"In April 2006, Mary Turner Thomson received a call that blew her life apart. The woman on the other end of the line told her that Will Jordan, Mary s husband and the father of her two younger children, had been married for fourteen years and had five children together. The Bigamist is the shocking true story of how one man manipulated an intelligent, independent woman, conning her out of o200,000 and leaving her to bring up the children he claimed he could never have. It s a story we all think could never happen to us, but this shameless conman has been doing the same thing to various other women for at least 27 years, spinning a tangled web of lies and deceit to cover his tracks. How far would you go to help the man you love? How far would he go to deceive you? And what would you do when you found out it was all a lie? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The books is a memoir, but it is written devoid of emotion, almost to the point of being boring. I found myself getting frustrated with the writer for ignoring so, so many warning signs. She was ghosted so many times, did not check out anything he said...some lies, especially his work stories, were completely over the top, and willingly took money needed to feed her family, and gave it to him. The hardest for me to understand was when she heard he was a pedophile, she still allowed her around her/their children. Yes, I understand that it’s easy for me to say this when I’m on the outside looking in, and know what’s going on. I can only assume that ‘Will’ found her most vulnerable and used that to his advantage. But, in some ways, she allowed it to happen and escalate.
Thanks to Ms. Turner Thomson, Amazon Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC. Opinion is mine alone. ( )
