A movie heart-throb
A sports superstar
An aristocrat
A brilliant surgeon
Killers all.
These are the stories of those they killed.
Their wives.
'The Night My Husband Killed Me', is the story of four women who were murdered by their husbands.
All of the women were beautiful, and were either famous at the time of their deaths, or became famous for being the victims of the charismatic, disturbed, men who ended their lives.
Being dead doesn’t end a woman’s feelings, or her anger. There is Natalie, the international and revered movie star who died the death she had most feared all of her life. There is the beautiful, life-loving Nicole, who might just have gone back to the stunning athlete she loved, if only he hadn’t killed her first. Then there is Sunny, heiress to one of America's greatest fortunes, sent into an irreversible coma for paying too much for all the wrong things. And finally, there is Colette, the high school sweetheart who married the golden boy and endured a marriage of increasing lies and disappointment, culminating in her death and that of her little girls shortly after Valentine’s Day.
These four amazing women’s lives were cut short, but each has a story to tell … and now they have.
The Night My Husband Killed Me eBook Kathleen Hewtson
I very much enjoyed this book, as I have followed the Jeffrey MacDonald case for years. As with the other cases we don't have a witness to the crime, much as I wish we did, but for a change this book makes Colette MacDonald the focus. There are many details of her living situation with Jeffrey and with her daughters that I had never read before, and that makes her seem much more real as a person and not just a victim. The events and setting of the murders were explained vividly (by using a first person technique with Colette speaking both before and after her death) so it was much easier for me to understand what investigators actually saw. The emphasis is where it needs to be, on the victim as a real person and her death as a real loss.Product details

The Night My Husband Killed Me eBook Kathleen Hewtson Reviews
I really enjoyed this book even tho the topic is morbid. it was an interesting perspective on murders that were not 'solved' so to speak in the manner they should have been. we all know these stories and hearing them from the victims side was fascinating. I'm so glad I came across this book.
I have read several books about Sunny, Natalie, and Nicole. Ms Henderson weaves well-known and lesser known facts skillfully with fiction in order to give a voice to these victims. Each woman has a distinct personality and each story draws you in with sympathy and plausibility. We will never hear the true story in their own words, but I cannot help but think that these are as close as we will get.
This is the story of some famous women and what "might" have been going on with them and what they might have been thinking when they were murdered by their husbands. I especially enjoyed the Nicole Brown Simth. The writer turned story-telling on it's head by writing from the viewpoint of the victims. Of course, we don't know if all of this is actually what they thought, but it's a pretty good guess.
This book was a really interesting, unique concept. Hearing details of these famous murders from the viewpoint of the victims was a good twist on already familiar stories. I don't know how much of the book was factual and how much was artistic interpretation from the writer, but it was a unique perspective.
When I started this book I really enjoyed it. By the end it felt a little too long. A lot of the "ghost" information was a little redundant. Had this book been a bit shorter I would have really really liked it.
I enjoyed this very much, especially the chapters on Natalie Wood and Colette MacDonald. Although fiction, these stories give some clarity to the mental states of the women concerned. Have followed the MacDonald case for years; the "fictional" scenario follows somewhat closely to my own opinions. If you are a woman in an abusive relationship, you really should read these stories of abuse and heed what you already know. Short read (an hour or so), and food for thought on four infamous murders.
First, let me ask, plead with the author of this book, Kathleen Hewtson, please write another book like this, your insight is awe-inspiring.
Yes, there it is, The Night My Husband Killed Me is intense, intimate, yet distancing. The title is kind of off-putting; but, I promise, once you glance at this book, once you begin reading it, you will not be able to put it down.
The book draws you in, very closely, but lets the reader maintain some distance. Each wife, speaking as a murder victim, then as a spirit beyond, tells you about herself, her life, her husband, their marriage… what went right between wife and husband… what went not-so-right… Hewtson's deft ability to let the wives' speak of their own self-perceived flaws, missteps, mistakes was poignant, bittersweet, I cannot find the words…
Murder, cold-blooded, calculated murder, brutal slayings, of these wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, is evil; but to listen to these four women speaking almost dispassionately, after, speaking of how very real, human, confused, objective they are is almost uplifting, certainly for me it was other-worldly.
In The Night my Husband Killed me, Kathleen Hewtson writes a brilliant first person narrative that gives a personalised account of four women's lives before and after they were killed. Each story is based on four famous cases of four real women and is told in retrospect as each woman's ghost reflects on their lives, including the good times with their family as well as the bad. The love they felt, the loss they felt, the betrayal they felt. The lead up to the eventual end, the signs that they chose to ignore when they were alive, but became crystal clear in death.
This is haunting to read, and so chilling at times it became overwhelming and I had to take a breath and put down my kindle. But I was compelled to pick it up again and keep on reading. As if I owed it to the memory of Natalie, Nicole, Sunny and Colette. To hear their voice as it might be, if in actual fact they could communicate with us, and speak the truth from the grave about what had happened to them.
For me the resounding, powerful message from these stories, is the notion that everyone has the right to be heard, but the dead can't speak and can't bear witness. They have been silenced forever. Its left to the living to work it out, and that doesn't always happen. The truth is often twisted and turned on its head, until no one knows what or who to believe, even with the evidence staring them in the face.
If only we could tap into the ghosts and could hear their voices, and know the truth, as Kathleen Hewtson has fictionalised in this novel.
My final thoughts, as I finished each story was the hope that all four women's souls did find their peace in reaching the light and could all finally rest in whatever place they chose, as indicated by the author. That doesn't make what happened to them right, but it does give closure to their stories, and a more befitting beauty to their memories.
Highly recommended.
I very much enjoyed this book, as I have followed the Jeffrey MacDonald case for years. As with the other cases we don't have a witness to the crime, much as I wish we did, but for a change this book makes Colette MacDonald the focus. There are many details of her living situation with Jeffrey and with her daughters that I had never read before, and that makes her seem much more real as a person and not just a victim. The events and setting of the murders were explained vividly (by using a first person technique with Colette speaking both before and after her death) so it was much easier for me to understand what investigators actually saw. The emphasis is where it needs to be, on the victim as a real person and her death as a real loss.
