Paper Summary:

The paper discusses R. Robin McDonald's portrayal of Audrey Marie Hilley, a serial killer, in her book "Black Widow". The paper relates that McDonald takes the facts and presents them simply, without unnecessary exaggeration or slant, and lets the story entice the reader. The paper asserts that what makes McDonald's book such an excellent read is her combination of very human characters and very cold facts. The paper further posits that "Black Widow" is the true-crime novel at its best; dark, harrowing, mysterious and tense, while at the same time human, believable and moving.

From the Paper:

"In the ever-popular genre of crime novels, books that tell the story of true events in an exciting and evocative way are particularly fascinating gems. Thus, R Robin McDonald's dark and brooding portrayal of Audrey Marie Hilley in Black Widow is an especially gripping work that fits well into the framework of murder mysteries. McDonald's style is both enthralling and at the same time off-putting, as she shows a flair for drama as well as a solid ability to research the facts."
