A Terrifying True Story of Secrets, Betrayal, Deception, and Murder: We Thought We Knew You

Praise for M. William Phelps    “Phelps knows how to work it, mainly by fleshing out…character with prurient details…and examples of…maddening game‑playing.” —The New York Times Book Review on Where Monsters Hide    “Phelps depicts Conley as a narcissist who feared losing control of Adam, and the book stridently calls out social media efforts to overturn her conviction of manslaughter. The author’s anger at Conley’s glamorization within the true crime community is palpable.” —Library Journal on We Thought We Knew You   “Phelps does a good job exposing the way reality TV coverage can influence and indeed corrupt perceptions of guilt and innocence. True crime and popular culture fans will be fascinated.” —Publishers Weekly on We Thought We Knew You   “Sometimes truth really is stranger, and scarier, than fiction, as demonstrated by investigative reporter M. William Phelps’ Where Monsters Hide…This is narrative nonfiction of the highest order, a sumptuously scintillating tale that greets us with the character types we’re used to seeing in the fiction of Lisa Gardner, Harlan Coben or Lisa Scottoline. Superb in all respects.” —The Providence Journal on Where Monsters Hide   “A chilling, real‑life tale of murder and madness.” —BookTrib on Where Monsters Hode  “Phelps is an expert in the world of true crime and the mind of a serial killer.” —Library Journal   “Phelps is a true‑crime veteran.” —New York Post“Phelps is one of America’s finest true‑crime authors.” —Vincent Bugliosi   “M. William Phelps [is a] master of true crime.” —Real Crime Magazine   “M. William Phelps dares to tread where few others will: into the mind of a killer.” —TV Rage  “Phelps is the king of true crime." —Lynda Hirsch, Creators Syndicate columnist   “Phelps treads dangerous ground like an Amazon jungle guide—fearless, compassionate, insightful.” —Geoff Fitzpatrick, Executive Producer of Dark Minds
