Product Description
In a quiet community of million dollar homes and shiny SUVs, the Nyce family projected the very image of success. Dr. Jonathan Nyce, an asthma sufferer, had achieved medical breakthroughs that made him rich—and offered hope to countless people. Michelle’s beauty made her an object of desire. And adultery was her husband’s worst nightmare.
Police found Michelle’s Land Cruiser floating in a frigid creak near the family home. When forensic investigators examined Michelle’s horribly battered body, they knew she had not died in the car. Or by accident.
Soon, the truth began to emerge. Of a brilliant man whose beautiful wife had a lover she could not stay away from. Of a family—including three innocent children—pushed to the breaking point. And of one brutal moment, when a man finally ended his torment by horrifically murdering the woman he loved...

Get An Editor, Please!!! 21 August, 2008 NEVER LEAVE ME did, in fact, make a boring airplane trip pass more quickly but that is ALL the praise I can give. The writing is about the worst I have ever read. Clearly the writer has a poor editor, is his own editor (and doesn't have a command of English grammar) or does not even have an editor. The text is replete with glaring errors, lame descriptions, boring repetition and confused storytelling. I could go on and on. As for the story, it was mostly forgettable for me because the writing was so weak and awkward. As a genre, true crime books are not usually penned by great writers, in my opinion. But this book was just so bad.

Great Read 07 October, 2007 Once again John Glatt does a great job if you like true crime make sure you read all of John Glatt's book he is a great writer.
This is a tragic story. When it becomes to an affair of the heart one never knows what another will do.

Too Repetitive 16 April, 2008 I was very disappointed in the writing style I was not able to finish the book got stuck all the time with author talking about what the company was achieving he gave very little time about the wife. In one part of the book it states she is 22 having her first child and in the photos she is getting married and 23 and had not had children before the wedding.Conflicting!!
The book did not flow I felt if he spoke one more time about the company the Dr created I was going to scream.
I won't be buying John Glatts books again I want to be entertained not bored with details that is not necessary.

Mailorder Bride/murder 06 September, 2008 This book is the story about a brilliant and successful scientist.He wasn't as successful in love.The book did a great job explaining the complicated lives of Dr.Nyce and Michelle his wife.Without giving too much away,I came to sympathize with the both of them.Michelle deserves more sympathy because she was murdered.I afforded some sympathy toward Dr.Nyce because he was betrayed by the woman he loved.The biggest victims are the three children who no longer have their mother.They will forever have to live with the knowledge that their father murdered their mother.

Fairly Good, But Not The Best Writing 05 February, 2008 I read all other reviews of this book before I ordered it, but the story (which I was not familiar with) sounded interesting and I am a true crime reader, so I ordered it. I do wonder how well these St. Martin's True Crime Library books are edited. There are typos and some inconsistencies in the details presented by the author, but these are probably "picky" criticisms on my part. I had not read John Glatt prior to this book, but I don't think I'll be seeking out other books of his. I just did not subjectively enjoy his writing style.
