The Fatal Attraction Murder: Carolyn Warmus, Paul Solomon, Betty Jeanne Solomon

A stagnant long-term marriage comes to a shocking end when one member of the couple is murdered in their own home. But was the killer the spouse, the wife’s lover, or any of the husband’s mistresses? Phone records eventually put a private eye of murky ethics on the investigator’s radar and revealed a villain so unhinged that they draw comparisons to the movie Fatal Attraction.
