Poisoned Love by Caitlin Rother
Caitlin Rother, although no stranger to writing as a journalist, did an excellent job with Poisoned Love as a first time true crime author.
Readers will find indepth background coverage on the major players in this twisted tale of drug abuse, adultry and murder.Â
Poisoned Love  is the story of Kristin Rossum, who is undoubtedly a spoiled, overindulged girl who has never grown into the maturity of womanhood. Her actions alone speak of someone who has never been taught that there are consequences for their actions.
Being the only daughter of enabling parents, it isn’t surprising that Kristin would kill her husband rather than file for divorce (with monetary gain to be had) when he threatened to expose her relapse into her drug addiction and her affair with her boss, Michael Robertson.
After Kristin stages a scene straight out of her favorite movie, it doesn’t take investigators nor her Gregg’s (her husband) family long to find that 2 + 2 = 4.
What will a spoiled little rich girl with an undeniable meth addiction do when she faces a life behind bars?
Well organized. Well written. Definitely engrossing. Highly recommended!
The following is one of my infamous personal rants on material that may or may not be contained within the book; and, as such, should be considered a SPOILER ALERT!Â
I do not believe that Kristin acted alone…just as Kristin was childlike in demeanor, so was Robertson.
While to some he may have seemed experienced and intelligent, his need to continously seek the “new feeling” of “falling in love,” shows his immaturity as well.
It would not surprise me to learn that his sophmoric attitude wouldn’t lead him to assist Kristin to kill her husband in the naive belief it wouldn’t be found out; and they would live happily ever after.
At least, till the new wore off with Kristin and he went in search of “the feeling” again.
In addition, Rossum and Robertson are both arrogant individuals; and most often times, it those who think so highly of themselves that take the hardest falls.
