A shocking true story of domestic violence, child abuse, and a mother's fatal journey with a very evil man. [1984 Janyce Hansen Unsolved Case, Aurora, Colorado] People's Book Awards: Kindle Winner Jan. 2013; HALL OF FAME; Top 10 TCB Awards 2011 5 *! "This book evoked so much emotion from me - Book voyeurs who are able to tackle tough subject matter will love this tale." -Kim Cantrell, TCBR Gripping story of child abuse, domestic violence and corruption in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. Not at all unaware, a son and daughter chronicle the events leading up to the mysterious death of their mother. This book is the first to explore the mysterious death of Janyce "Janny" Hansen, a former top model from Denver, Colorado. She, along with her husband and children, live in an upscale home in the suburbs. The community sees an affluent, glamorous family. The reality is far different-an abused wife who can't let go; a husband who beats and sexually assaults his adopted children-while running gambling and prostitution businesses from their home. In the early morning hours of September 21, 1984, Janny's husband returns home to discover her lifeless body in his Mercedes convertible parked in the garage-or so he says. Her family is led to believe she committed suicide. Now, 25 years later, her son and daughter set out to prove she was killed by her husband, a successful real estate developer rumored to have strong ties to city officials and underworld crime. Many believe the investigation into Janny's death was a cover-up-starting with the coroner's office-and that her husband got away with murder. As the siblings' investigation continues, they are led to believe their suspicions are true. Especially since evidence increases almost daily and points to only one killer-their father. 5* by TCBR: "In her new book author Sherrie Lueder recounts the life of Richard and Janyce Hansen, as told to her by two of Janyce's children and Court documents. "He Killed Our Janny" doesn't read so much like a book, per se, but more like written account of a friend's story. It was a pleasant change from the textbook-style of many of today's writers. When I was reading, I didn't want to stop; when I had to put it down, I couldn't wait to get back to reading. I wanted to know the ending. . . Book voyeurs who are able to tackle tough subject matter will love "He Killed Our Janny." 5* - READERS' FAVORITE: "He Killed Our Janny by Sherrie Lueder is a true crime story that will take your breath away.
