Book 4 in the TWO FACE series, one of the best reviewed, is available now in paperback!
“Book 4 in the K9 series is a must read for those who enjoy well researched and detailed crime narratives. The author does a remarkable job of bringing to life the cold dark horror that is Chris Watts throughout the narrative but especially on the morning in the aftermath of the murders. Chris’s actions are connected by Nick van der Leek’s eloquent use of a timeline to reveal a motive.”

Theme by Anders Noren — Up ↑
Strangled makes it sound like she lashed out in rage which is what he was whispering to his father earlier, according to Ronnie’s interview later that week ( next day?) Shan’ann was cursing him and dropping the f bomb and so on. Evidently Ronnie had seen her “go off” a number of times including Nut Gate. So he was ready to believe something like that happened and his DIL snapped and attacked the kids. Smothering doesn’t fit with that furious arm waving italian got tempered thing he was feeding his dad. And yet we know he smothered them both – why he didn’t say he saw his wife holding the pillow over someone’s face is a question. Based on the amount of makeup smeared on his wife’s pillow it seems he may have pressed it on her face while strangling her to muffle the noise- only one side of Shan’ann’s neck had the deep bruising.
