    About this audiobook

    In October 2014, after Chris Regan failed to arrive at his new job, his ex-girlfriend filed a missing-person report. Something was off. It was not like Chris, a devoted father, avid hiker, and all-around great guy, not to show up. When local Michigan police chief Laura Frizzo learned Chris was having an affair with Kelly Cochran, a married coworker, suspicion fell on her husband, Jason. After a search warrant on their house revealed several suspicious items, the Cochrans abruptly moved to Indiana. As questions swirled around the case, the whereabouts of Chris Regan remained unknown.

    Sixteen months later Jason Cochran died from a drug overdose. Friends and family rallied around the grieving and distraught Kelly. But when the coroner ruled Jason's death a homicide, no one reacted more bizarrely than his widow. For months detectives tried to put Kelly's past into focus, but the truth was buried under a patchwork of lies, contradictions, and brutally horrific revelations. As Kelly Cochran, a Purdue graduate and psychology major, played "catch me if you can," a mesmerizing story emerged that rivals today's bestselling fiction in its drama and fascination.

      I wanted more details about this case, so I listened to this book. I thought it was well researched, but I don’t care much for the writing style. Listen to the narration of this book was rather annoying and hard to follow-I felt like he was jumping back and forth so much between the author’s words and the actual testimony of those involved that it was distracting.
    • 2/5
      I watched the five part documentary on this case, thought this book would be just as exciting. Couldn’t finish it as it tried to be so granular in detail it seemed to lose the plot.

      Ok. Interesting story. But I found it hard to keep me engaged.

      Where Monsters Hide: Sex, Murder, and Madness in the Midwest by W. William Phelps 2019 Kensington 5.0 / 5.0 October 14th, 2014 is the last time anyone heard from Chris Regan. He never showed up for work at his new job, and calls went unanswered. Known as a responsible, nice guy and a devoted father, his disappearance became even more suspicious. His ex-girlfriend filed a missing persons report, followed up by Michigan police chief Laura Frizzo.Frizzo discovers that Chris was having an affair with a married, co-worker named Kelly Cochran and suspects Kelly husband, Jason is involved.16 months later, Jason dies of an apparent drug overdose-until the coroner rules the death a homicide. Kelly, a Purdue graduate with a degree in psychology admits she is a psychopath.....has known it all her life. As her cat and mouse game with the detectives is played, more and more of her past is revealed. Chris may not be her only victim, as her acts of revenge and payback towards other men she feels slighted her are discovered. This is a women that gave me the creeps just reading about her. Her acts are vicious and staggeringly cold.Phelps, one of my favorite true crime, has again given us a story of mystery, revenge, intrigue and creepy people. Phelps also explores the backstory of his horrendous crimes, how it has affected the lives of the detectives and investigators, as well as the families. I admire Frizzo. She was the one whose tenacity kept the cae alive and eventually lead to her getting as close to a confession as possible from a psychopath.Intense, top notch story, masterfully explored and written.Highly recommended.Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Press for this e-book ACR for fair and honest review.#NetGalley #WhereMonstersHide
