Description
The New York Times bestselling author of Bad Girls tells the true-crime tale of a Connecticut woman who became a real-life Fatal Attraction.
Sheila Davalloo was young, attractive, and successful. When she started a new job at a cutting-edge research lab in Stamford, Connecticut, she met the man of her dreams. Nelson Sessler had no idea how violently Sheila would react when he began seeing a co-worker, Anna Lisa Raymundo. Sheila eliminated her rival in a bloody knife attack—and then turned her rage on another victim she saw as an obstacle to her passions. M. Williams Phelps recounts the riveting story of a white-collar love triangle gone horribly wrong . . . and the terrifying infatuation that drove one woman to kill.

Reviews
Riveting!
5By Blah,blah, blah!I am very picky and critical in reviewing true crime books, but this one reached perfection. Exploring the mind of the perp, Ms. Davalloo, was continually fascinating. There is just the right blend of character development, facts and evidence, psychology and trial coverage to make this book a page-turner. It never gets bogged down and repetitive, nor does it contain endless trial transcripts. It does not lose sight of the impact these crimes had on so many people. I could not put it down and highly recommend it.Great
5By Thunderwoman46I couldn’t put this book down.The Case of Sheila Davallo
5By Suzy's BooksI have to say that Sheila Davalloo is a sick cold blooded killer. A narcissist who would go through any means necessary to get what she wants. I knew of her case but I didn’t know the overwhelming evidence there was against her. Greg Holt and Tom Mcginty were outstanding detectives that because of there ferocity on finding the truth helped lock a sick woman who maybe could have done more harm to others but mostly Find Justice For Anna Lisa Raymundo and her family. May she forever Rest In Peace. Great True Crime Book. I give it 5 stars!!Obsessed
5By Emmster7Great and almost unbelievable true crime story. To think that someone would be so obsessed with another to commit a murder, try to cover it up, then set out to commit another murder and be so blatantly unapologetic about everything is unreal!! Great read. Couldn't believe it was over 800 pages, but once I got started, I couldn't put it down!!!
