Summary
Love, betrayal, jealousy and greed are themes that are as old as time. These emotions can dominate someone's thoughts and lead them to murder. But if they take a life, they seldom get away with it. So focused on the spoils of their ill-gotten gains, they think scarcely about the person that is gone or how the death will negatively impact the lives of the victim's loved ones. However, after their arrest, the murderer will have decades to think about what they have done in their prison cell, never seeing the financial or romantic gains they set out to attain
