Publisher Description
At thirty-nine, Nancy Kissel had it all: the royal lifestyle of the expatriate wife, three young children, and what a friend described as "the best marriage in the universe." That marriage—to investment banker Robert Kissel—ended one November night in 2003 in their luxury apartment high above Hong Kong's glittering Victoria Harbour when Robert was murdered and Nancy became the prime suspect. Her 2005 trial captivated Hong Kong's expatriate community and attracted global attention. Less than a year after the jury returned its unexpected verdict, Rob's brother, Andrew, was also found dead, stabbed in the back at his multimillion-dollar Greenwich mansion.
Never Enough is the harrowing true story of two brothers, who grew up wanting to own the world but instead wound up murdered half a world apart, and of Nancy Kissel, a modern American woman for whom having it all might not have been enough.

"Quite the gripping story! This true crime book really held my interest. The Kissel family moved to Hong Kong because of Dad's new job and Mom just couldn't handle the change - nor the fact that she had to leave her lover at home in his trailer in Vermont. The way Nancy Kissel decides to take care of her depression is pretty insane. As is the rest of the Kissel family. I read this book so fast and was completely enthralled with the story. A must-read for any fan of true crime, or the Oxygen show Snapped!"

Never Enough Listener Reviews
-
" Never Enough was the type of book that I didn't want to put down. It told the story of Rob Kissel's life and death very well, keeping the reader on the edge of his or her seat. The very end of the book gives you a tiny bit of insight into the murder of Rob Kissel's brother, Andrew. To read more about both Rob's and Andrew's murder, I suggest also reading A Family Cursed: The Kissell Dynasty, a Gilded Fortune, and Two Brutal Murders by Kevin McMurray. "

" I love all true crime books. My only complaint about this book is that it seemed so one sided. I wonder if nancy Kissel had any real motive, or was she really that awful. "
— Maureen, 2/9/2014 -
" Good beach read - not a masterpiece by any means but compelling story/pageturner "
— Erin, 2/6/2014 -

" Really good for the true crime category! "
— Natalie, 2/2/2014 -
" This true story has everything...murder, sex, greed, power, etc. It is a sick family saga that is unbelievable! "
— Cindy, 1/28/2014 -
" This is based on a true story of tremendous greed, nannies, and a wife who is a rotten mother and wife. She lies and cheats and sets her husband up as a brutal sexual predator. Then she kills him. Nancy Kissel makes Lucrezia Borgia just look a little naughty. "
— Carol, 1/27/2014 -
" This isn't anywhere near one of the best books I've read recently but it was a compelling true life story. After the first few chapters I thought I would get bored with the story however I kept reading and after a few more chapters I was sucked into the sensational soap opera that was the Kissel's lives. It was interesting look into the wealthy investment banker lifestyle although at times I felt like I was indulging myself in a tabloid like publication. "

" really mindless "
— Emily, 11/28/2013 -
" Great book. Would like to have read a bit more about Rob... Slightly biased I think BUT how could manslaughter ever even be a consideration? 100% premeditated! "
— Leanne, 11/15/2013 -

" true story about a successful investment banker family.....I got to the murder part. His wife sucks. I can't believe this is based on a true story and real family. Awful, tragic and unbelievable. "
— Julie, 3/25/2012 -
" This is an amazing story. Hard to believe it's true. Goes to show that money and things don't make people happy. "

" A true crime book about an investment banker who hit the big time during the boom years and his unfortunate murder. "
— ==Anne==, 11/19/2011 -
" Rather disappointing read. Could have been the actual crime details rather than the author. This book feel far short of my expectations after reading Fatal Vision, Cruel Doubt, etc. "
— Linda, 9/25/2011 -
" I don't usually read true murder books but this one was very good. I liked how it included historical references including the Hong Kong financial crisis and the SARS epidemic. It wasn't gory and kept me interested the whole time. "
— Kayla, 6/26/2011 -
" It was an interesting read about greed "
— Steven, 5/7/2011 -
" I listened to this on CD, but they don't list this edition on Goodreads. <br/> <br/>A compelling story about a woman obsessed. Pretty disturbing. I particularly liked the follow-through this book provided, about what happened since the trial. "
— Sue, 2/8/2011 -
" I don't believe that Nancy was ever physically abused. I think she was a spoiled brat and wanted all of Rob's money so she could live with Michael for the rest of her life. I do wonder who murdered Andrew? "
— Kristen, 10/12/2010 -
" This is so gritty!! <br/> <br/>And a true story! "

" If there was a way to give this book a zero star rating, I would do that. Read it if you want to feel very "normal" in your life and marriage. "
— Susan, 12/8/2009 -
" This is a fascinating story about the American expat who killed her investment banker husband in HK a few years ago. She's still in jail here and is referred to as the "milkshake murderer". "
