Deadly Pretender

The Double Life of David Miller

By: Karen Kingsbury

Narrated by: Kate Zane

A New York Times bestselling author and former Los Angeles Times reporter's account of a con artist and bigamist who resorts to murder to hide his double life.

David Miller had a dream job and a beautiful family. But one perfect life wasn't enough. So he pretended to be an attorney, then a CIA agent. And he secretly married another woman. He juggled it all quite well—until the day his two wives found out about each other. Miller groped for ways to hold on to his finances and reputation. But when he tried using a gun to silence his second wife, his carefully constructed façade of power and wealth exploded.

In Deadly Pretender, New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury dives into the tangled world of deceit, greed, and lust to reveal what drove a seemingly upright citizen to live a double life, and then, to commit the unthinkable.

Good story, slow paced

Certainly a new storyline with this book. The twists were unthinkable. But, the pace was a bit slow for my personal taste.

Very different from authors usual style.

This story was very well developed and had excellent character development. It was very revealing of how you can get tangled up and get deceived. Satan is an angel of light.

the anger ensues Miller had.

liked the story line , disliked some of the voices of the readers. very different than the writers other books

Can’t put this book down.

Anything Karen Kingsbury writes is always suspenseful and difficult to separate you from the book. In other words, I’ve never experienced any other her books where I can put them down to live my life or even sleep for that matter. She just has a way of holding you captive.

Convincing narrative!

I was amazed with the excellent research conducted to tell this story. It is amazing to see how easy it is to believe lies.
