Grieving Author Mourns Murder Rap

 


Let’s hope the judge throws the book at an author charged with murder!  

Kouri Darden Richins, who penned a children’s book about how to handle grief and mourn the loss of a loved one, may have created the circumstances that made her book possible.  

What will the sequel be?   

When Mommy Goes To Jail?   

She supposedly, according to prosecutors, laced his food with deadly amounts of fentanyl.   

Talk about a poison pen!  

Her book, Are You With Me?, was removed from Amazon after the charges were brought. I guess, in a way, she was profiting from a crime. Still, free speech. I say leave the book up for sale. It likely would have become a bestseller.  

There has not been this much interest in a book by an alleged killer since OJ penned “If I Did It.”  

I wonder how many novelists write murder mysteries and thrillers that actually are linked to real crimes known — or committed — by the author.  

Let’s see if Richins can write a happy ending to her story, for she likely will be spending many years in the prison library.
