Publisher Description

Jenn Corbin appeared to have it all: two little boys, a posh home in the suburbs of Atlanta, and a husband—Dr. Bart Corbin, a successful dentist— who was handsome and brilliant. Then, in December 2004, Jenn was found dead with a bullet in her head, apparently by suicide. Only later would detectives learn that another woman in Dr. Corbin’s past had been found years earlier with nearly the exact same wound to the head, also ruled a suicide.

 

In Too Late to Say Goodbye, Ann Rule—working in cooperation with victims’ families, police investigators, and sources from Georgia to Australia—unravels the now-sensational Corbin murders. What emerges is an incredible tale of jealous rage; of stunning evidence that runs from the steamy to the macabre; and of a fateful, mind-boggling coincidence that drove Dr. Corbin to kill again. The definitive unraveling of one of the strangest murder investigations of our time, this is a chilling portrait of two beautiful, successful women and the villain who made their murders look like suicides.

"This is the story of Jenn Corbin, who appeared to take her own life in her suburban Atlanta home late in 2004. To make her death even more tragic, her body was discovered by her young son Dalton who ran to a neighbor’s house announcing, “My daddy shot my mommy --- I need you to call 911.” The police investigation pointed to a self-inflicted gunshot wound as the cause of death. Her husband, Bart Corbin was a man who was far different in private than in public. In addition to his controlling personality, he was also a womanizer. This combination was too much for Jenn to bear, and shortly before her death, they separated. The Corbin death had all the markings of a suicide, and the case appeared to be headed to the cold case files of the Gwinnett County Police Department. But hard work and luck are often far superior law enforcement tools than DNA or fingerprints."

    " This was a true story of a double murder and both deaths were originally deemed to be suicides, but justice was served in the end. This was a page turner and very interesting for me. This was my first Ann Rule book, but it will not be my last. "

    " I read 3/4 of the book then skipped to the end. Very sad story but it was too verbose and the author repeated herself quite a bit. Plus there was way too much detail and by the time it wound back to the investigation of the murder, I had lost interest. "

    " i think the last "true crime" book i read was in 6th grade- which i got some demerits for. I swore them off but playaway selection isn't that great. Best part about this whole book- Tabitha, the silent witness. "

    " This is a cheap read when the books you want are not in the library and you're going on a cross-country business trip. Not nearly up to par as Vincent Bugliosi's books. Ann Rule seems to be the Harliquin novelist of true crime literature. "
