by M. William Phelps

Recounts the true story of Connecticut real-estate lawyer Beth Carpenter, who, deeming her sister's new husband, Anson Clinton, unfit to care for her niece, convinced her sexually obsessed boss and lover to hire two hit men to kill Anson. This book Lethal Guardian is basically about Beth Ann Carpenter( a real estate lawyer) from Connecticut.She had beauty,brains and success. She was virtually obsessed with her sister's child Rebecca.I can imagine that having concentrated on her career instead of having children,this child Rebecca became the next best thing to having her own child.This situation was fine while the child's mother Kim was herself a bit lost.Beth Ann then had complete control over the child and all was okay in Beth Ann's world.Being a Type A personality control is everything.
